Talking to an FA who said the SEA-NRT 777 operated by sUA is going to a sCO 787 <insert snarky fire comment here> on Nov. 5th. Looking at united.com reservations, sure enough there's UA105, a 787 SEA-NRT.

LOA 25 says the company can't close the SEA pilot base for 2 years after DOS, so what are the SEA 777 guys going to do in the mean time?

• Deadhead and pickup flying?
• New SEA destinations?
• UA 777 pilots transition to the 787?

Was this one of the unnamed NPDMs recently announced in the MEC update?
