United Airlines Boeing 757-222 N525UA, originally uploaded by Pix Picks.

This is the aircraft on which I was about to fly. United loads up its JFK-LAX flights at Gate 7 in Terminal 7, and (I think) are all operated by Boeing 757-20s specially configured in 102-seat, three-full-class configuration for the airline's 'p.s.' Premium Service. Naturally, I was in the back in economy, but even that had quite decent legroom -- and, surprisingly, on the flight out to LAX, the crew of flight attendants was terrific and not at all demoralised, despite United's highly publicised poor labour relations and ultra-greedy management.
