Ahh nostalga...

I remember back in February of 2004 when I got my first UA Op-up. It was a 777 from LHR-JFK (remember that route?) and I thought that seat was the cream of the crop. I knew it was better than the similar AA seat.

Flash forward to this June when I sat in it on a 777 from ORD-DEN and I said to myself "wow, do people actually PAY to sit in this?"

Still, I remember my first 767-200 United J trip, I figured the footrest was some kind of cruel joke as when the passenger in front of me reclined, it was the next thing to useless.
