For Dec. 20, unitedcargo shows UA941 from FRA to ORD as being a B777 (whereas UA945 was a 77D). However, mobile.united.com shows the nose number to be 2475, which is a 77D. In addition, UA941 is shown with 23xx tail numbers for the next two days, but the seat map for Thursday actually shows the 3-3-3 Y class even with the old tail number. Any idea what gives here?
I'm flying UA941 next week and was curious if I can check which config I'd end up getting... but with these two sites saying one thing and flightaware saying it's a 744 (heh), I'm not sure whom to believe!

Wiki has been down for the past two days. Anyone know what's going on? Maybe they're doing a major overhaul of the site to add CO aircraft being reconfigured.

If only ~55% are new config is there a sked for completion of the fleet?
Seems to be taking an eternity?

I find it funny. UA is in a no win situation. If they take seats out so it is not 2-4-2 then people would b*tch and moan that there are not enough seats so upgrade will never happen. They put the seats in and people b*tch and moan that they are too tight.

UA803 NRT-BKK 23Dec was swapped from a B777 to 77Q overnight. So it went from 12 to 8 F seats, and for the first time this year, my SWU-based D=>NF may not clear.

Easy solution: add one more row, go 7 across! Downsizing E+ by 2 rows in the process.
