Having done a lot of UAL traveling last year on SEA-WAS route I can safely say that Airbus equipment and 757s were the plane of choice. Either on IAD-SEA non-stops or in BWI-SEA and back flights through ORD and DEN I only had one flight on a 733 in a redeye to ORD. Even on Economy Plus I wanted to get out of it fast. My favorites were A320 with an upgrade to first and 757s in Econ + seating.

That'll keep dem Boeing boys happy. I see a f= ew Boeing hats on my weekly SEA-ORD run on a 320. UAL is still receiving 319s and 320s. On a ORD-ATL 320 flight yesterday, the purser indicated that if the plane smelled n= ew, it was; first flight. .. pause, gasps, everyone recalling how many things break when they leave the parking lot with a new car... "Sorry, first flight with pax." .. collective sigh.

Let's see what happens now.. The press releases on yahoo.com say that UA is building up service to lots of destinations from Chicago, not just Seattle. In a way, that's reassuring; I was starting to wonder how many trips Boeing employees were taking between the new headquarters and the commercial aircraft division. Besides, Southwest only offers two non-stops in each direction and two or three routings that are either direct or have one change of plane. It's not like UA wasn't already swamping Southwest's capacity on that route. >BAHA Just a thought, Nick -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .
