Wow! I'll be damned. I will miss Queen of the Skies. I actually flew on BA & KLM 747-400 for 3 times.

With the ZW CR2's is the total number of 50 seaters constant (due to E145 retirements) or increasing?

Increasing. By quite a bit this year. However i BELIEVE that some Skywest CR2s will be coming off contract next year, so should eventually even out.

Should be noted though that with the reduction of Q300 and Q200 fleets will be about even this year.

73G:
N16713 sked to exit MIA 2798/10Nov with slimlines/new F seats
21 of 40 (36 Domestic) complete with 2 or 3 more in mod.

764:
N66057 exited HKG 2810/10Nov with Y crew mod - seat map not shown.
On 763 Polaris, a closet was removed at aft right to replace 2 seats removed to add 4 E+/crew seats on aft left. I wonder how the 764 will accomplish crew seats as there is no closet to remove. Will seat pitch go to 30 on left rear window pairs to gain enough for crew seats at 40" pitch or will a pair of seats be lost? We'll see when N66057 is sked for revenue service. Right now there is only one 764 seat map on united.com.

752:
N597UA entered SAT 2824/13Nov, maint or scimitars???
N17128 entered RFD 2774/12Nov - it was assumed scimitars were installe in SAT in Oct, questioning why aircraft is going into RFD or if SAT isn't doing scimitars
N19136 exited RFD 275/13Nov with scimitars
Will N597UA get scimitars in SAT?

763:
N656UA sked to enter HKG 2820/14Nov for winglets/2Class Polaris
N674UA exited SFO maint 2825/12Nov

E45:
N13914 has left the fleet. Aircraft sold
N15910 is in for fleet exit prep

As a side note, I believe SAT is doing heavy maintenance work, not modifications.

Wow, that's a long time without winglets. Guess that must have been one of the planes they planned on retiring before changing their minds.

Nice to see Polaris conversions continuing.
