I might cancel my return from PHX in F next month and see if there's a seat on the u/d in J instead...
As someone who almost always sitting in the UD, I am horrified to see how much longer/higher the UD slide is compared to the other exit. Its going to be more traumatic in an emergency scenario.

Its going to take a while (and expense) to re-pack and reset all the emergency exit slides.
