Perhaps your schedule needs to be updated Indelaware?

Still, even if it counted -- seven flights over four days comes no where close to being a route "full of them." One might say, a route with the some 739s. No way that less than 20% makes a route "full of them."

I didn't count UA1271, tomorrow, as that flight is not operating.

UA seems to be keeping the 757's on ORD-SFO-ORD for now until they are retired.

Please check your facts first of all. 2 flights today, 2 scheduled tomorrow. Most days have between 2-4 a day. I love how you don't include the cancelled one. You lose all credibility. So continue with personal attacks, but you should really get some facts. If you look at the future schedule, 739's are taking over an average of 40% of the flights. Some days, I've seen 50% 739's schedule. So again, keep on trying to attack, but you first should get your facts straight. By summer time, you will have 70% 739's on that route.

That said, there is a very easy way to avoid them, just connect in DEN or LAS on the way -- or move over to AA, VX or WN (out of MDW).

my poor friends stuck on united
My goodness -
I had to last minute book a flight tonight (8pm) from ORD-LAX and the only option available was an 8:15pm united flight on a 737-900 - in economy - aisle [profanity removed, per FT Rule]
I almost always purchase F, but often buy last minute and wind up in coach on US Airways a321- the good seats. How ANYBODY could trash us air.
This seat was the PITS - I mean the total PITS - and they advertised it as their new "enhanced" economy seat - leather - about as think as a cardboard box - terrible wifi - they didn't even offer a full can of soda in coach - and serve in basically a public school swish cup. It was a torture chamber. No avod - I mean come on - LAX-ORD is a super competitive route - one would think they would put their better plane on this route.
It was TERRIBLE!
