According to what I see on flightaware.com it looks like United just traded out it's 4pm 777 non-stop to ORD for a 7pm 757-200 non-stop to ORD. Can anyone confirm this?

The Qantas 767 (VH-OGT) that arrived in HNL on Friday morning departed to SYD last night @ 2300 as QF 8004. Qantas is still behind one flight for HNL. Currently there are no plans to add an extra section for these passengers. Looks like JQ and HA will be full all week.
