No discussion of technology at UAL would be complete without mentioning UNIMATIC the companies 50+ year old core computer system. Ive seen the CAL flight planning products in NRT and IMO are light years ahead of of UAs new Flywize product.
Also worth mentioning are the legions of IT outsourcing liaisons at HQ in Chicago. UAs IT department doesn't produce much, if anything. Its core job is to write the spec and QA code that's outsourced to India (tiger team). UA IT has built it's own empire by becoming a revenue source for the company, however by some twisted accounting scheme, the revenue source is other corporate divisions (ie flight ops). On the upside, the line for hamburgers in the HQ cafeteria is alway short. |

Well for starters, we call them 75's and 76's not the other way around. But here is a few notes
757-200's - all RR powered, with 180 min ETOPS, SATCOM, being configured for lie flat seats (like 20 done so far), GPS, most with EFB's and all with 2 jumpseats. Used on domestic, south america, europe and carribean 757-300's - a mixture of ETOPS and non-ETOPS birds, configured the same as above except no lie-flat first class. Used domestically 767-200 - the rocket ship of the fleet, all 767's have GPS, SATCOM, ETOPS, regular first class seats. Used on Europe and South America 767-400 - same as above but flown to Europe and Hawaii We fly monitored approaches, RNP, and constant rate (VNAV) descents on all Non precision approaches Configurations on all 757's are the same fleet wide. 200: 16/159 300: 24/192 Configurations on the 767's are: 200: 25/149 400: 20/236...some coded "H" are 35/200 Heard 'talk' that the UAL WB Fleet has several different configs & various configs are flown region specific.....any truth??? |

757: 200 - 16DEF; 300 - 22DEF (coach seats) 767: 200 - 18DEF; 400 - either 15DEF or 28DEF (coach seats) 777: Crew rest bunks So let the comments begin on this one! You can't say anything to us at CAL about the 756 rest seats that we don't already know or say ourselves. |

Not to mention 50-seat RJs where everyone else flies 737s, 757s, 767s and Airbuses.

737: 1B or 1E (forward most aisle seat in first class). I put this in there because we do some IRO turns on the 737.

You can't say anything to us at CAL about the 756 rest seats that we don't already know or say ourselves. In case you were wondering: 747: 2 bunks in own room in cockpit 777: Bunks in some models and Lie flat seat in 1st w/blackout curtain 767: Lie flat seat seat in first class w/blackout curtain 757/airbus have no 8hr flights but would require a first class seat if so. I believe these are contractual, so you can imagine some consternation on the part of management when we merge our contracts, and that it will not include any concessions. I would love to see our openers on the JCBA and the company's private reaction to it. |

Heck, do a google search for the IFPTE upgrade to all of our international jets. The first class suite is our rest seat. You'll like it;) |

I think the 777s with bunks still block a business class seat for each augmentee.
