sCO 739/739ER vs sUA 739ER
Since there seems to be a lot of confusion about sUA not operating any 737 variant, I wanted to start this thread and provide sources that sUA does indeed now have 739ERs. A couple of ways to identify an sCO vs sUA aircraft.
1. Tail #s: On united.com sCO operated flights are in the 3401 - 3478 tail # range. sUA are in the 3801 - 3813 tail # range. All sUA aircraft will be in the 8xx tail # range. 2. IFE: Most sCO 739/739ERs have DirecTV some do not. No sUA 739 has any IFE at all 3. Seats: All sCO 739/739ERs have the original CO seats. Some sUA 739ERs have the CO seats, while from tail #s 811 on up will have the new slimline leather seats. 4. Interior: sCO 739/739ERs either have the traditional 737NG interior (tail #s 401 - 444 or Sky Interior (tail #s 445 -478) All sUA 739ERs have Sky Interior. A couple of sources that does in fact prove that sUA does indeed have some 739ERs : http://calafa.org/news/union-update-nov-22-2013 http://unitedafa.org/news/details.aspx?id=8428 http://unitedafa.org/news/details.aspx?id=8254 Hope this clears up the issue of weather or not sUA has 739ERs. |
If you want to see where they're going (hint: everywhere) -

Yep, it's getting harder and harder to tell whether your flight is sUA or sCO...

Maybe, just maybe, erasing the pmUA vs pmCO distinction [by converting both to the dismal Smisek Air] is the one thing they've done right. |

Thanks for the very informative post. What can you tell us about the 738 in this regard?

I asked this in one of the other threads, but I don't think anyone answered, and it makes sense here: should we expect these birds to be swapped in for our existing sUA flights (like, if I'm currently booked on an airbus) or our existing sCO flights (currently booked on a 738) or both?

As is to be expected for merger that's been in place so long.

When are the sUA 739s going to be flown by sUA pilots?
|
Keep in mind that as of March pilots from pmUA and pmCO can freely fly any 737. After the beginning of March the only way to tell which side the pilot came from on the 737 is to ask them (and many may be mixed pilot crews).
FAs will remain separate and can be determined by noting the tail number, as JOSECONLSCREW28 noted in the OP. |
I thought sUA flight numbers were in the 200-999 range. But a quick spot check of the sUA 739s shows that they are flying in the sCO flight number range.
Shouldn't they be in the sUA flight number range? |
