Guess Max10 is too far off to speculate if they would do 24 like 757s used to be (yes, including 757-300

and yes, it would break up the cabin )

If you count the exit rows, it may look like 64. The ratio of 64 vs. 101 is not too bad. This is more similar to V1/V2 of 739 (https://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Un..._737-900_A.php) than V3 and V4 of 739.

Looks like N118UA is on her way to VCV. Fleet exit?

https://www.flightradar24.com/UAL2774/f2fd657

Any idea why they would fly her up north first to make a loop around Medford?

The photo doesn't add up to 165Y, rather 159Y, which is the same as the 739.

There appear to be 6 more E+ seats vs. the 117Y version of the 739 meaning the configuration whould be 20F/48E+/111Y = 179

Hmmm, looks like 3 lavs for 50 J seats (1:17), with the forward lav in the same place meaning it will be frequently blocked by the pilots' bunk area door that opens into the entry area -- and sometimes for an extended period (I've seen > 30 minutes).

On the 77W, it's 4 lavs for 60 J seats (1:15), but the pilot crew rest is upstairs so blocking the two forward lavs is only when the cockpit door is being opened.

Interesting on the SAT 757s. The 752 needs scimitars and the 753 is to get slimlines. It doesn't look like SAT has a facility that could do that work, but interesting both aircraft arrived with ferry flight numbers.
