N120UA enroute to HKG 2184
N197UA scheduled to ferry VCV 2146 14-Jan, presume exit? This is the first one to exit according to the original 2018 retirement schedule.

ps, the 'In NRT' note for N772UA can be removed since it's back into service now

You'd have to think so with the announced speeded up retirement.

To quote certain someone, "so sad."

I've seen here and on A.net that UA is picking up 4 more 738s this year. What's the source of this information?

4 of the 65 73G orders were converted to 738s while the other 61 were converted to 737 MAXs. The 738s arrive later this year.

Saw N197UA takeoff a few minutes ago for VCV. Expect to see lots more of these flights for the remainder of the year.

N197UA was on the ground in SFO for about 6 hours.
Does UA pull anything from the aircraft that is being retired?
I beileve in the past, titles have been painted over, etc.

Future 789s:

Those frames are the last of the currently-ordered 789 fleet.
