All start from Oct/Nov/Dec, some of them are seasonal. These are what I found, could be more out there.

I noted in another thread, but IAD-FRA is also selling PP staring 27OCT19.
IAD-NRT actually has PP starting on 26OCT19, per UA.com.
LAX-PVG goes 789 to 781 7DEC19 to 31JAN20, and then one of the SFO-PVG goes from 772 to 781 on 1FEB20.
Interesting UA is adding 77W on EWR-PVG and then LAX/SFO-PVG to 781. I've always thought PVG has too much capacity with EWR/ORD/LAX-PVG 1x and SFO-PVG 2x. And then the added request for 2nd EWR-PVG to replace AA's canceled ORD China routes. But maybe internal data shows that the market can support it.

I'm flying IAD-NRT before the winter schedule as well, but I'm in Y so definitely do not want the switch. I'd prefer guaranteed 3-3-3 over maybe being able to move into a PP seat but also maybe being stuck in 3-4-3.

How does it make sense for them to put the 781 on PVG routes. I thought those birds were for shorter flights to Europe....on China flights most of the profit is in C while Y fares are so low they can't be making money....so why do they put a Y heavy plane on PVG?

Edited to note that the 787-10 actually replaces a 772, not 787-9, on the SFO-PVG flight. Cargo is a consideration too as the 787-10 has about 25% more below-deck volume than the 772.
