Any information on N76504? It had flap damage in SAL from what I could gather, then positioned back to IAH on Jan 4 and has been out of service since. Curious to know what the damage actually was, and how extensive as it's been down for so long.

Flew on one of these air Whiskey beauts the other day. It has been years since I've been on one and Devil Chariot fits it perfectly! The one I flew on (N455AW) seemed to have fairly new seat covers, new UA bulkheads and new carpet installed but they are beyond uncomfortable. Unfortunately I'm on another one next week but luckily it's only a 45 min flight, so I think I will be able to manage. I will be doing my best to avoid them on anything over 45 minutes if possible.

Looks like those are 739 aircraft. If I had to speculate, they are 737-900ERs, and the "E" got picked up -- it being the fifth letter -- and converted to a "5." Just a hunch.

I wonder how many 772 mod lines the company is planning? The 777 project is larger in scope (more frames) than the 767, so there will need to be multiple lines if the company intends to have the program completed within 2-3 years.

It would take 22 months to convert 33 sUA 3 class 772ERs with 3 mod lines and an average 60 day conversion time. Mod lines could be reduced for peak summer, thus increasing total time to complete the fleet. Then there's the sCO fleet and does anyone know if the Polaris configuration is closer to the current sUA or sCO configurations.
Once the 772A mods got going, they were averaging about 45 days - the question is how much structural work has to be done to relocate lavs/galleys. It seems like the 763ER Polaris mods are taking longer, but there is a lot going on to improve reliability.
