How does UA make a 757 magically "appear" ?
 

UA365 (ORD-SNA) on 1/12 was canceled. Equipment is a 757.

However, all 757 flights operated out of SNA (to SFO, DEN, and ORD) all operated normally.

So, where did they get the extra 757? Did one RON in SNA?

IIRC, UA65 (SNA-SFO) operated by a 757 on 1/9 was cancelled, but all 757 flights into SNA operated normally on 1/9.

Can I assume that a 757 somehow went MX in SNA on 1/9 and was just recently repaired at SNA and went flew out on a scheduled flight today (hence today's 757 cancellation into SNA)?

:mad: Sounds like CHAOS to me. :mad:




Only kidding! Seriously though, it probably was ferried in from LAX, SFO, or anywhere a plane was coming back into service from MX, or some other scheduled service. In some cases, the aircraft is pulled from an operating route, thus cancelling that flight, but that is rare.

This is a good question, because usually the line stations get the short end of the stick when an inbound flight cancels.

duct tape 2 Ted's end to end? :D Raarr!

Maybe there was an equipment swap and one of the scheduled 757 flights operated with an A319/320?

Could have been ferried from LAX.

This 757 came in from SFO on Friday night:

Not sure if this is regular service or not. 8000 series flights aren't typically ferry flights.
