The numbers are taken directly from financial statements. They are also in the summaries United posted. They aren't aspirational. They are factual. You can view all the financial reports here. https://ir.united.com/
Never said boom jet anything, I think its a gimmick and not economical. Never said 40,000 pilot group. Management (not me) said 28,000 by 2030 based on firm deliveries and we already have over 18,800 pilots and we are hearing anywhere from 2,500-3,000 next year with only about 500 retirements.

Those were last "remodeled" under the old regime when cost cutting was everything. They took out the screens because the had weight and required maintenance (costs) and according to the leadership at the time "everybody brings their own screen anyway." Then when you asked them why no charging ports throughout the cabin so people could actually use the screens they brought onboard for an entire 8 hour flight, they pointed you back to step one --- Reduce COSTS!!!
Unfortunately, those decisions still haunt us, as I doubt they will redo an interior on a 30+ year old airplane. I guess if they do, that will be our indication that those planes are going to be around awhile. As they come due for their next heavy check, it will be interesting to see what if anything "extra" is done.

I think it was four "B" models converted + 19 "A" models for a total of 23 777 cattle cars.
