January and February you will see reductions on many routes, the last IAH flight does not operate most of this period but back in March back to the 6 flights a day. I also prefer the 737 over the Airbus, you will see a mix of them on many routes. You are also seeing several PMUA 757-200 operating which we did not have before. We did loose the 753's for the most part.

This isn't that new.
I've suffered numerous first class UGs CLE to IAH on a 320 swap. I Miss the 737s with DirecTV especially on evening flights.

Yes for example if the flight out of IAH is on an A320 then it will be crewed by sUA FAs & pilots regardless of base or destination.

Pretty sure that it's going to be sCO flying new planes, as right now they are all PMCO orders. My recent 787 and 737 flights with that new plane smell had sCO crews, but of course JOSECONLSCREW28 is the ultimate authority on that subject around here @:-)
Yes, that confirms what I heard from several FAs.

EWR and CLE get a lot of 319/320. EWR gets on average 14-15 PMUA 757 a day in addition to all the ex-CO 757 metal on the traditional routes.
Some pretty eye opening PMUA 757 flights that have never been operated prior to the merger: EWR-PBI/BOS/PDX/FLL/MIA/SEA/LAS for instance.

I don't have too many mechanicals. I guess I'm lucky. I've had more on the 737. The Airbus is superior in comfort..

This thread is getting stupid. Some people prefer 737s some people prefer A320s. I seriously don't get why there's always a competition about which is better. Me personally I prefer 737s as I don't much care to fly on an A320 and idc what airline flies them be it UA, US, DL whoever I still hate them.
