I did not include the E190, because UA does not operate that aircraft, and it would not be a true side-by-side comaprison. But, since you brought it up:
The E190 operates on flights with a much shorter stage length - max range is ~2,000 miles, but if I'm not mistaken the longest flight right now is somethign like 1,300 miles or so.
The E190 has NO MIDDLE SEAT, creating a far more enjoyable ride.
The E190 has wider seats.
The E190 has IFE.
The E190 has larger windows.
The E190 has 33"/32" pitch and the exit rows at 38" pitch. Better than UA's standard 31", plus all the above advantages.
And again, consider the shorter average flight duration. To even compare the comfort of a B6 E190 to any UA aircraft is ridiculous.
