Looking at Tuesday 4/21 - every evening flight has PN/PZ/IN9 on EWR-LHR. I know it’s not high season, but this is not something I feel like I would have ever seen using the 763s with smaller J cabins. I wonder at what point UA might reevaluate this strategy...

Strategy on deploying high-J 763? or strategy on releasing PZ space for PP upgrades and keeping 1K elites happy? I think UA is constantly re-evaluating the latter.

The former. I looked on Wednesday and Thursday of the same week - plenty of PZ space as well. Not sure what summer will look like, but I feel like EWR-LHR might be one of the best markets for an upgrade now - over 250 J seats daily...

So starting this Thursday, EWR to GVA has this configuration 767. What are the chances of getting op-up from economy overbooking? Friday from GVA to EWR UA957 shows economy and premium plus full even though the seat map shows unchosen PP and E+ seats(I know it doesn’t reflect the actual booming) so looks like someone may get bumped up to PP?

Great news for IAD flyers, the morning flight to LHR is going to High J 763 on Sept 9. Lots of award availability in the fall.
Going from 16J 757 to 46J 763 really makes the morning flight upgrade a whole different world from IAD.
