It's AC's equivalent of the Ghetto Bird...
They're still showing up on YYZ-BCN - just saw them in search results.

Oops, you're right. I guess their 2-2-1 were all reconfigured into the 1-1-1.

However, the seating charts for AC 767's still say:
"New cabin interior - featuring personal touch-screen TVs or lie-flat Executive First Suites - is not available on select flights operated by three B767-300 (763) aircraft between certain Canadian cities and Athens, Barcelona, Cancun, Dublin, Honolulu/Oahu, Madrid, Maui/Kahului, Montego Bay, Punta Cana, Santa Clara and Varadero."

And, as always, "(This list is subject to change without prior notice). "

Reconfigured sUA 763s

I just received word that the reconfigured sUA 763s interior will look exactly like sCO 764s. Galleys, Sidewalls, Lavs, bulkheads, AVOD systems, all the way down to the seat covers will look exactly like sCO, even the FA jumpseats will have the blue fabric on them from what i hear.

Thanks for sharing, now we need you to get some word of when that 763 is returning from HKG

I suspect sometime late this weekend in time for ORD-AMS on 6/7...

6/7 seat diagram is showing old config 767-300 now with F and C cabins. Interestingly enough, I can't seem to book or upgrade to the F cabin, so it would seem as though they're possibly holding out hope that they pull through and get the equipment there.

First flight with the new 2-class seat map is now on 6/27.

A mechanic mentioned that the ETR is 6/8 a few days ago, but I was doubtful, because at the time UA.com still had the new config in the system for ORD-AMS on the 7th... Looks like it got delayed by one day, so that means glx won't be able to take pictures for us Unless he SDCs or change his flight to the 8th

I can confirm that the flight was pushed back a day.

Given my meetings are on the 7th I'd be creating my own trip in vain... no thanks

One Ghetto Bird down, 13 still flying

http://www.airliners.net/aviation-fo...485568/#menu34

Rejoice in the fact that the Ghetto Birds are on their way out and brand new birds with flat beds are taking their place!
