78X Work-in-process:
N14016 did another turn around Charleston yesterday: BOE51/7 Dec (https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N14016). Looks closer to heading to PAE?
N12020 did a run to Moses Lake and back yesterday: BOE55/7 Dec (https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N12020). I think that usually happens a few days prior to delivery.
And I wonder how concerning:
N12021 attempted a run to Moses Lake and back today but diverted back to PAE: BOE56/8 Dec (https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N12021)

UA 1158 LAX to HNL is showing a 777 with 2-4-2 J cabin on the booking tool? Is that accurate? I thought all 777's had been Polarized.

No, there are ~20 777s that operate in a domestic, high-density configuration with the 2-4-2 J cabin, primarily used on domestic hub-to-hub and Hawaii routes. There are no plans to install Polaris seats on these planes.

No, that is the domestic version, so seatmap is more than likely accurate. Probably one of the PW engine PMUA 772 that were grounded.

N12020 had a customer flight yesterday as did N12021

delivery of both frames should be fairly soon

Any help is accepted since some of these movements involve updating 3 or more spreadsheets.

RE 788s in VCV. Assume maintenance, but paint isn't out of the question as they were painted in 2012.

737MAX9 New Delivery:
N77543 entered LAX Induction 2715/6Dec

AMA Paint flights:

763 N662UA sked to enter AMA 2751/Dec6 for EvoBlu livery.

319 N849UA sked to exit AMA 2759/Dec6 in EvoBlu livery

I am headed EWR to DUB in a few weeks on a 764 in J. Can you speed up the Polaris mod on that one?

Haha thanks for a great site

are there Polaris seat options on this route? If not, these seats are actually quite comfortable.

Now that the PW 772 fleet is back in full force, 772HDs are the only widebodies I see on LAX/SFO/DEN - Hawaii routes. The one exception with Polaris seats is a daily SFO-HNL rotation on a 77W, which typically continues onto GUM in between SFO-HNL and HNL-SFO.

They are true lie flat seats even if not aisle access from every seat. Better than every 737

I would expect the 764's and 753's to remain on property the longest...

And while the 763 and 77A will probably be the first to go, but given the backlog, etc I don't think they even they will disappear within the next 3 -5 years.
