Me too, specifically any routes out of EWR and/or IAH.

Discussion on the BR forum is that existing 77Ws (the bulk of the fleet) will remain 3-3-3.

Maybe they will put more at EWR? That’s be nice. Kind of surprised they wouldn’t keep on SFO-NRT or SFO-FRA...would think both of those routes could sustain the larger planes. It does make me wonder what the overall strategy for the 77W is at this point...

I wouldn't read too much into the W18 schedule loads right now. Things will almost certainly change between now and then. The fact that the F cabin is not being sold makes it much easier to swap back in the future. Think of of it the way UA uses a generic 738 in the far future schedules then swaps for the right sized aircraft later. Also, there are the four additional 77Ws joining in 2018 so a couple new routes are likely.

Today's UA58 SFO-FRA got downgraded to a sUA 3-class 772.
Flight status lists 48 Polaris Business Class; e.g. the First Class cabin is sold as business class.

Most importantly, will there be soup?

Kind of wonder how those dates got picked. Looks like it picks up when the seasonal SFO-AKL route drops, but not sure what the 7/31 end date means...kind of arbitrary to end in the middle of summer.

Not a big UA flyer, so not sure if this is common knowledge, but my Aug '18 FRA-SFO flight got downgraded from a 77W to a 789. Bummed, since I had scored 4 saver J awards and was excited to be in the latest seats. Oh well.
