![]() ![]() The configuration you're mentioning will remove a lav at door 3 and there will be changes made to seating and lavs at Door 3 to add 4 seats. In the same time period there has been 21 posts about the fleet. "yeogeo" posted some information on some major UA route news and in 14 hours there has been 1 response. This is a perfect example of why I think the fleet and network discussions should be a separate thread. BA have suspended their flights and its only a matter of time before many carriers follow and then wait for this to get under control.I hope! Only a matter of time before they chop some/ if not all flights big time I think. Anyone have the information on those that will remain?.and is two dozen the number of flight numbers cancelled or the number of flights over the cancellation period? Somewhere in the many articles I've read it mentioned that a handful of UA Chinese flights will continue. Lots of press about UA cancelling two dozen China flights from US hubs for one week. What isn't clear is if UA will keep the FA downstairs bunker or pull it off the aircraft and set aside 6 passengers seats on long haul domestic flights which is what we currently do with the 19 other HD frames. With the removal of the flight deck closet (that space was incredibly small) seats 1A and 1B will be used for crew rest on long haul domestic flights. Keep in mind these aircraft had the flight deck rest bunker (which will be replaced with 2 closest) just aft of the flight deck door on the left side of the aircraft and if I remember correctly UA removed a lav from doorway 3R and replaced it with the ladder that leads down to the downstairs FA bunker. These 4 77E HD frames will have 1 lav behind the flight deck door, 2 lavs on either side on the aircraft behind door 2L/R, 2 lavs located between door 3L/R (one of those is the large handicap accessible lav) and finally 2 lavs on either side of the aircraft just forward of door 4L/R. If they are going through the trouble of installing nose-to-tail AVOD, that could be an indication there is more to come for the domestic 777 fleet. Isn’t there an extra lav on these aircraft at door 4? Between that and the loss of rows aft of door 2, that’s probably where they had to make up the difference. Perhaps the ~6.5 hour ground time in HNL between ORD and SFO rotations and the two 5+ hour ground times at ORD could allow some routine maintenance to get done?ĭoes anyone think these were converted for EWR and IAD to HNL? Seems logical to me to free up 764's (maybe for Polaris conversion?) and haul a ton of people. That gives ample ground times of 2+ hours in most cases (minus the ~1:40 turn at OGG) and allows 2.5 of the 4 longest 772 HD routes (and the top 5 flights by block time) to be covered by the -ER frames, with a consistent daily rotation. Another option would be to operate the ORD-HNL/OGG flights with ERs and float the other 2 ERs so they would provide swap out at ORD ever day or so.
