All 752, 76x, 77x, 78x aircraft have lieflat seats, no other UA aircraft does

This seems like very positive news. Hopefully they will stick around in the domestic fleet for a while. I'd love to see them replace some 737s on hub to hub, and long hub to non-hub, routes.

IMHO - sUA used to fly 757s on IAD and ORD west coast and SFO transcons. They really need to figure out a way to bring that back - weight restricted 739s are no good.
However, I've been seeing them over the last few weeks on DEN-MCO which is a rare one for the TATL 757.

HNL-DEN in January. I hope this doesn't change as we have it booked on a P fare.

Flew one MCO-IAH a few weeks back. IIRC it continued to BOG.

3 out of 4 segments on a 752 between EWR and IAH last couple months (4th was a 763). Flying EWR-DEN next month on a 752 as well.

757-200 with lie flat seats from MCO-EWR?
This seems like a really bizarre choice of aircraft for this flight. Does anyone know why such a short flight from MCO-EWR would have a 757-200 with lie flat seats in first? The flight number is UA1965.
On the way down, BOS-EWR-MCO it's a combination of 737-900 and A320 which makes sense.

This has been occurring for at least a year -- the guess it has been done to fully utilize the fleet

United does 757 maintenance in MCO as well. Afternoon/evening flights are often a turn between TATL flights at EWR, and early MCO-EWR flights are aircraft often coming back from a mx visit. 75B on EWR-MCO-EWR have been continuously in the schedule for as long as the configuration has existed.

I actually paid for a domestic non-ps flat bed redeye flight, SFO to EWR just before p.s. service switched to EWR. No pillow, a blanket you wouldn't lend a dog. I was scathing in my feedback, as my reaction was United is way too stupid to be entrusted with such equipment, and I already knew this. I was way too stupid in trusting that United had reformed.
The classy move would be to buy enough pillows for the cabin (they can't be expensive) and hand them out if you can get them aboard. One would probably be stopped at boarding, in which case one could begin cursing over United's incompetence, explaining that there may be paying passengers in first who expected better. Then stand aside and hand them out to each first passenger as they scan their boarding passes.

EWR-DEN-OGG I went with the PMCO 752 route BF last month, the ultimate best alternative BF route other than EWR-HNL. They occasionally go DEN-HNL too.
