Jeez... what happened to all the technical planning behind getting pics out from onboard? I guess now he's a superstar he's busy with all the schmoozing!

maybe it's just me... I just don't see why u guys are so excited about the flat bed situation. To me, I can't see any big difference between flat but not horizontal beds and flat horizontal bed. I just flew to FRA on LH and found their biz bed just as good as UA's (even though it took a while to learn all their buttons). Still, they are not as good as my bed at home...
Are you serious? Or maybe, you've never flown on a truly flat seat. Those LH angled seats are awful.......you wake up chewing gum, and realize that you slid so far, you've got the elastic waistband of your underwear way up high!

Wow, it's really happening! 
Oh and I rather think December is a bit ambitious for the 744, but I'd love for UA to prove me wrong - bring it on! ^

In addition to the comforts of the product itself, I am excited bc UA's commitment to 180 lie-flat bed gives me hope it may be trying to compete int'lly instead of staying mid-pack among domestic carriers as it has been lately. UA's current premium offerings aren't even close to int'l standards (chair in F on the 767 is a joke!)I want to have pride in the airline I am loyal to, and this is a start.

It won't be out till mid February due to additional work
The 777 goes in early February and us due out sometime in late March.
As we've seen with the 767, subject to change!

Really, it'll take two months for the 747? Any clue what additional work is being done?
