1/31: LAS-DEN: CR7 n/a, upgraded and on-time - surprised to see a RJ on the LAS-DEN route, but happy it was there for a Monday morning flight as the mainline at 615am was too early and the other mainline at 900am was too late.
2/5: DEN-LAS: 757 ^, upgraded but not on-time despite landing 10 minutes early. After pulling off runway the nose gear steering became in-op, so we had to wait for a tug and ended up 35 minutes late

So... 1/2
Overall: 1/3
319:
320:
757: 1/3
767:
777:

UA On-Time%: 5/6 (Express: 3/3, 3/3 on CR7)

Was that a typo, a 757 from IAD to Norfolk????

Today on flt 436, channel 9 was not available. I went to the washroom prior to take-off and upon exiting noticed the cockpit door open with pilot/first officer just talking. I politely said hello and they responded very nicely. I asked "By any chance do you turn channel 9 on?" Immediately the pilot's facial expression changed and looking right at me said "no, absolutely not, it will not be on" and turned forward...weird. I replied OK and returned to my seat.

I just wish I had THE appropriate, proper reply...

Ch. 9 is "at your Captains discretion".

I think you did have the appropriate, proper reply.
