transcons with channel 9

I am totally uninformed. Brand new to UA by way of the CO move.

Which transcons have channel 9?

Every mainline UA plane has Channel 9 capacity. Whether or not the pilot enables it is another matter entirely.

both milepig and WineCountryUA are correct but don't let the fact that ch9 is off when you board as a) the captain will have it on but forgets to "flip the switch" or b) the audio has not been turned on so always ask via one of the f/a's if ch9 is not on

...or it is really quiet because the jumpseat gain is turned all the way down.
