Here's the 57/67 fleet breakdown:

757s: None have GPS or SATCOM. Some ETOPS and PS jets have winglets (PS= Premium Service three class config with WiFi, used on LAX and SFO to JFK markets). Only a few have the second jump seat installed. Some of the non-ETOPS birds are non-overwater equipped and must stay within 50nm of land. MTOG is 240k for all UAL 57s, and they fly domestic, Caribbean, and Hawaii.

767s: all -300s, none have winglets, all have SATCOM. We know them as 56k and 60k jets based on the rated thrust. 56k are two class cattle cars for the Hawaii market and hub-hub flying, and are the only GPS equipped jets in the 57/67 fleet. 60k have a new and improved three class config for the ORD and IAD to Europe and South America markets.

The entire fleet is P&W powered, and a recent upgrade made all the FMCs Pegasus, which is a big improvement over the several different FMC types we used to have.

There you have it. Now let's hear about the CAL jets.
