UA just announced SFO-PPT with 787 starting 10/30/18. Looks like seasonal.

738:

N78511 - Confirmed exit from MCO
N76523 - Scheduled to exit LCQ 14-Dec/2802 in 16F/48E+/102Y config

I don't see any of the remaining non-slim 738s entering LCQ for mod, UA may want the extra lift to get through the next 2 weeks of holiday travel before one enters

Looks like they have the new seat map and numbers for the 767-400ER. It’s 39BF/70E+/131Y
They took out one set of seats 44A and B.

Wow, that 764 seat map situation needs work. There is only one unit complete to my knowledge with 2 in mod.
But UA posted a single seat map for the 764 while 13 are still flying with the old map.
And, the new map states 203Y at the top while showing 201 Y seats.
While it does show 131/133 in the Y section below the map, I wonder why they didn't just show two maps like with other aircraft.

My hunch is that they'll sell it only to the new config and that they expect the layouts on the remaining planes to switch relatively quickly. Seems like a job that can be done on a RON rather than a major effort.

They probably only wanted to load the lower capacity version into the system for seat assignment and will save those two extra seats for airport assignment.
