It appears that the gingerman is proficient in UA's fare rules re:these fares, while JerryFF isn't.
As the gingerman correctly points out, these ARE discounted first/business fares on UA, not coach, and if a travel dept. bothers to look up the fare, they will know that it is not a coach fare, by the fare's own definition.
On other airlines, they may, or may not be classified as first class, but on UA, they are.
