I agree with you and you are raising many good points... but my question is... should we hope for E+ on CO domestic metal... I am not sure if the A320 indicates what to expect.

Your best point is about the situation where one has to change plane in the last minute... where a good ELR seat is likely unavailable... and one will have better luck with a large E+ cabin.


(Admittedly, I had not looked into the composition of UA flights... and UA have lots of 757 with a great Y/F ratio.... While their average age is 17+ years... according to WSJ in 2009... they will likely stay with the New UA for many years to come).
