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.
I don't see the issue? Might as well have one map with two fewer seats than try to bother with two maps that don't really affect anything anyway.

At least some 737s are getting the new interior design, if not yet the new F seats. I took N77539, a 2017-build 738, from IAD to CUN on Sunday, and the bulkheads looked really sharp.

Wonder why they didn't just fly it to VCV to begin with? Regardless, probably the last time the 744 will be posted by UA;

I didn't realize United was adding even more CR2s then the 50 for the Air Wisconsin agreement.
How many more are Skywest contributing to the pain?

73G:
N38727 - Completed test hop, expect entry back into service soon

E145:
The following are all appear to be in for exit prep
N14543
N17560
N10575
N13975

CR2:
The following Air Wisconsin planes are all in FTW for transfer prep from AA to UAX. Expect entry into service in early 2018
N413AW, 2001 build
N415AW, 2001 build
N433AW, 1999 build
N447AW, 2003 build
N450AW, 2003 build
N453AW, 2003 build
N454AW, 2003 build
N460AW, 2003 build

CR7:
N742SK - Wifi and PDE listed on United.com
N743SK - Wifi and PDE listed on United.com

E170:
N809MD - There's a typo, it should be N809MD not N890MD. This aircraft is likely a loaner since N637RW is in for HMV in RME

All 4 of those E145s are in for routine heavy maintenance (I don’t routinely post the UAX maintenance visits). Those frames aren’t scheduled for exit.
The CR7s are listed as having Wifi but not PDE. Likely a mistake as I’m sure they have both.

Asking here as I saw on UA’s Wikipedia page that they are taking first deliveries of the 737 MAX 9 and 787-10 in 2018 (which is only a few days away):

1) any word on the MAX 9 seat plan, and any thoughts at all that any get a p.s. style configuration to start replacing the old 752s? Or does the fuel container replacement (I forget exactly what it was called) preclude that from happening?

2) are 787-10s getting delivered with Polaris seats right off? I think the answer is yes but I’m not sure.

1. I believe UA stated the MAX9 will seat 179 like the 739. Not sure which version though as there are two variants with either 39 or 42 E+ arrangements. It's been crickets on the 757-222 NGS upgrade. I think those have to be done by end of 2018 per the FAA directive. However I don't believe the MAX 9 are slated for P.S. duty.

2. Yes

I thought it was announced as part of BOS-SFO going p.s. that the 222s would get NGS. It seems like they want to fly the wings off the birds, and still can't decide whether they have time to wait for a 797 or need another solution (probably the latter).
