Figures...the one month I don't do the ORD <-> DEN runs, they swap in the 744's. Anyone know the load factors on the 744's at all? Are they going out full to / from DEN?

blah, that's a hellishly short red-eye already. The 747 is the fastest plane in UA's fleet and would just make it even shorter.
I've stepped out of the terminal before 5am more than a few times after that flight. ugh. I used to wonder if the pilots would take bribes to back off the gas a little bit or do some big loops on the way.
