Still in the works but sounds like UA will have a subfleet of MAX10s (first delivery scheduled for 4Q20) for premium transcon service.

My guess is we might see the oldest of the 76C (B/E Diamond 763) in the domestic network until they are removed from service. 7 frames aren't getting Polaris mods (76L) due to age, and they might help to bridge the drawdown of the 75K fleet as they reach "terminal" heavy checks and deliveries of (rumored) premium-heavy 737MAX10s. The 76C is similar in premium capacity to the 75K (28J vs. 30J) and adds about 70 Y seats with the same cabin products. Aside from the 757s, the 76C should be the last non-Polaris aircraft in the longhaul fleet, so it would make sense for UA to deploy them elsewhere, especially given the additional WB frames coming on property over the next two years. |

Announced in the Q4 Investor Update released a little while ago:

All 3 are likely PS units that are coming up for HMVs -- Ordered 24 additional 737 MAX aircraft. Details on whether they were MAX9 or 10 were not provided -- Delivery of 4 additional A319s/320s in 2019. Most if not all will be the China Southern 319s -- 9 50 seaters will come into the fleet Whether if they orders 737-MAX9 or MAX10. That will freeing up the 757 aircraft. |

Very nice orders. Surely, they loves 77W aircraft. Is that 20 or 22 77W in the fleet?

We seem to have reached the end of 50-seater induction, as least, as only 9 are to be added in 2019. That doesn't take into account transfers, or swaps of 145s for CR2, as it is just a net figure.

Why does UA seem to prefer the CR2? I thought E145 had slightly better fuel economy, but I suppose total operating cost per seat mile could be higher.
UA is placing its owned ERJs previously flown by XJET with Trans States and CommutAir. AA is also bringing some ERJs back into service, so there might be less competition for the CRJ frames. |
We were just informed of an aircraft change for my flight home from Taipei tomorrow on UA872. We now have N2140U. This note is to confirm that the info on the "Polaris Update" page is correct - my new seat map is showing a Premium Plus section.
And more important (if you happen to be me!), they reassigned my seat to 21B, i.e. Premium Plus aisle seat at no extra cost. I'm starting to like sittin' in the Big Chair. :) |
926 SFO-FRA tonight and 927 FRA-SFO tomorrow will be operated with a 78J A/C #1002. |
