Ted in SFO->LAX market or; more likely, united.com anomaly???
This reference to TED in the SFO->LAX flight lists for May on united.com caught my eye:
"United Airlines 1250
(Operated by United For Ted)
Airbus A319
Flight Details
SFO 10:50 am
LAX 12:18 pm
Stops: 0
Meet Ted"
-------------
Note the inconsistencies: flight # outside of Ted range; non-Ted equipment and the "flight details" show F seats bookable as would be the case for a(ny) 319. Don't know whether this is really a "Ted-heading" a/c being run thru SFO->LAX, an anomaly, or a case of TED just bursting to crack open the hub-to-hub market potential or new a/c types???? R-a-r-r-r-r-r.

Sounds like a united.com snafu. Business as usual.

I was in Denver 10 days ago and I noticed on the departure monitors that two of the outbound flights to SFO actually said TED. I thought that was odd.. but maybe that is business as usual these days?
