LAX-EWR PS yet if on Biz First 752?
I think a few of the flights are run with Business First. And I also know that starting in October they moving everything to EWR.
On the flights that have the Biz First seats today, is there PS service? Or just normal Domestic F service? |
Thinking ps will shift on Oct 25th. Enjoy seat and AVOD at least! ^

Normal domestic service today -- although the gap between normal domestic and PS has closed (unfortunately partially to a lowering of the PS levels).
ps crews are still top-notch. |
What becomes of the non-ps planes being used on the route post-10/25? For instance 1456 SFO-EWR on 10/25 is an sCO 752 but is being sold as ps. How does that work?
OOOhhhh, I get it now... Jeff can retire some of the ps sUA 752s now and move some of the spare sCO ones onto ps. Gotta keep that BF capacity in check. |

Actually, they are increasing frequency on EWR-SFO/LAX well beyond what the sUA ps fleet (15 aircraft) can support.

I don't believe that is correct. I believe the number of flights from EWR to LAX/SFO is slightly decreasing, and of course the JFK flights are gone.

Current ps frequency will more than double, since all flights EWR-SFO/LAX will now be ps. Overall frequency on EWR-SFO/LAX will stay more or less the same. Current dedicated ps fleet cannot support the increased ps frequency that will come with this change. Not even close, in fact, since number of "ps" flights is essentially doubling. Also should be clear I think this is a terrible move and that ps will ultimately disappear. |

Should have phrased that more clearly.

Because it's not about EWR, it's about NYC, and about international connections. And they have plenty of competition at both of those.

I think the most important question in this thread is - post 10/25 United shows all EWR-LAX flights as being on a 752, is it true that all of those 752s will indeed have lie flat seating? Or will United operate some 752s with domestic first class seats on this route?

.... In addition to the p.s. aircraft we are moving from JFK to EWR, we will also reposition some of our flatbed-equipped 757s from trans-Atlantic routes to transcontinental routes in order to maintain or grow our existing EWR frequency levels. When we have completed this schedule adjustment, all of our flights from EWR to LAX and SFO will feature flat-bed seats.
