Ah, United Airlines, when are you going to deploy those new sleek flat beds on one of the longest routes you fly: SYD-LAX and SYD- SFO? United announced the cabin upgrade in July 2007, and we have yet to see the flat bed touchdown on Australian soil!
I (and many others) are rather annoyed that they have not considered all their loyal frequent flyers and deployed the updated aircraft on these routes first... The first new cabin flew Washington-Frankfurt, a flight time that is only 8-9 hours, the flying time from Australia to LAX/SFO is 14 hours - go figure?
There are also whispers that United may even pull out of the Australian market after V Australia (Virgin) begin services across the Pacific - well all I can say is they had better pick up the service and add the new cabins on this route, or they will lose $$$. Qantas will also deploy their new big bird the A380, when they get them! Competition is heating up, are they going to wait until then, probably...
I hope UA do not pull out of this market, I am UA*Gold and like the option to fly with them, not that it is that often...
