Now to the point - post merger DL did not want 787s, deferred at first, but actually cancelled relatively quick - of course they had the luxury of Boeing's delays (those by many accounts really hurt CO who bet big time on DreamLiner). Who knows what the penalty was, but DL did not want this plane for some reason, and IIRC just a few years ago again rejected it in favor of A330 NEO. |
789:
N45956 exited AMA paint 2757/11Feb 78X: N12004 sked to exit IAD New Delivery Induction 2736/12Feb. First revenue flight 637/14Feb EWR-SFO 4th UA 78X in limited Transcon revenue service. |
763:
N660UA - Scheduled to exit HKG on 14-Feb/2766. |
I think there is a typo on the fleet site. Under the 77W, plane number N2534U, it has the wrong configuration, should have Premium Economy setup. |
I had colored the PE units and mistakenly colored N2534U by mistake. It has not received PE and verified by seat maps.

My guess is that UA is waiting for Boeing to formally launch/offer the NMA (aka 797), rumored to be at the June air show in France. Then UA can negotiate for a large order of 777Xs and 797s. I too believe the A350 will be cancelled -- maybe in exchange for some number of A320neos and/or A321neos.

The rumor is the announced 737-MAX10 order will have a subfleet outfitted with flatbed J (16?) for Transcon Premium Service.

16J would be a significant downgrade from 28J now, especially considering UA is adding more J seats on the 763 and 319/20, with how premium the p.s. routes are (and full J is) I would find it hard to believe UA decreases seat counts in J.
Going 16J would be an AA-style revenue blunder of epic proportion. |

Especially considering UA is selling out the J cabin on SFO-EWR a week or more in advance. And that's with three or four daily widebodies on the route (781, 77W, 77G).
Going 16J would be an AA-style revenue blunder of epic proportion. We are growing our premium cabins from New York to LA and San Francisco. It's really important for us. As far as configuration of a planned MAX10, I've heard rumors of a p.s. replacement configuration in addition to a standard domestic layout, but no word on cabin size for the premium variant. There's also speculation that the Thompson Vantage Solo direct aisle access herringbone seat (optimized for a narrowbody cross-section) will be used. |
