Ah didn't realize the new 789s went to sUA instead of sCO — does this mean the remainder of the 789s coming in this/next year (#971 through 974) will be sUA as well?

company source telling me:
1. all 777 converted to Polaris (i assume all the non-HD ones) by Spring 2020 (earlier than reported previously)
2. another manufacturer is making Polaris seat shells now, making overall process faster (supposedly this is the most difficult manufacturing step)
3. should have "3 or 4" 767 done this year (i expected up to 5 previously)
4. first 777 retrofit in November (not sure coming out in November or going into retrofit in November)

A conversion of four 763s by year end should be feasible, given that the second 763 should be ready to be put back into service within the next two weeks or so if the two months it took to retrofit, perform heavy maintenance etc. of the first 762 conversion is any indication. (And a third 763 already in HKG for retro-fitting since early September).
A "first retrofit in November" contradicts what United put up on its progress tracker as of yesterday which states for the 772 conversion: "Aircraft will start to be retrofitted in early 2018." But maybe UA is just playing it safe at this point and built in some buffer into that statement.
Still, I wonder if this information was conveyed during yesterday's earnings call. Adding a second company to manufacture the Polaris seats and a resulting faster retrofitting rate of the 772s sounds like positive news to me, which was badly needed during yesterday's all round rather negative call from what I have heard.

All 789s are staffed by sub CO and the new to be delivered 789s will be staffed by sub CO as well. My mistake as I hadn't realized sub CO got more of the sub UA 789s. Also looks like the 787-10 (at least until FA integration) will be staffed by sub CO.

As for the 787-10, hopefully common metal will happen on time in October and there will be no sUA/sCO aircraft anymore.
