Totally agree. Bad Juju. Fix the damn problem and make everyone get on the same team.
To answer the question . . .
The 777-300's were acquired by giving up 787 slots. The 787 slots were UAL 787 slots. The 777-300's are being flown by L-UAL FA's. The EWR L-CAL FA's are hot under the collar 'cuz the planes are flying out of EWR.
Like I said . . . bad Juju.

Ok. The way I see it, having UA written or not written on the N-number of some airplanes we buy is not a "real problem".
This isn't about unity. This is about absurdity.
The l-Cal fa's not working certain planes & vice versa is the crap that needs to gtfo.

I couldn't agree more but you or I have no control over either issue. The F/A issue will get resolved when OM does his job.
As far as the aircraft N number, tell me the N number of the 727 placed in the Boeing Museum. I'm proud of that and all the United people that showed at both ends of it's final flight. We share a history. How do identify the first 787 delivered without looking it up - it's a pride issue.

It's actually quite simple. I would get step on a jet and recognize the tail number. To you they might be a piece of metal which is a conduit to a bank account but to me they meant more than that. Yes United beat the hell of me/us over the last 15 years but I was still proud of the people I flew with and the planes I flew on.
Now that we have brand X wings, uniforms, and high visibility vests with a bullseye on the back, why not planes.

The high visibility vests that are required due mostly to the efforts of one line pilot? Just goes to show b!tching on APC or the other board doesn't change things. Why not write a resolution for your next LEC meeting expressing the need to keep the UA tail number in the future?
There is a history and lore in this company. Those now in charge seem bent on obliterating what once was. The UA N number is just another in a long line of corporate decisions.

Wouldn't that be NxxxxUA? They just put N7001UA in the Boeing museum. That's about 9,999 airframes counting the ones already used.
