As a 250K flyer, I don't like this change.
You may think it's easier for you to upgrade since there are fewer 1Ks.
I bet the new COUA will make you much harder to use your upgrade instruments even there are fewer 1Ks in the future.
Enjoy your upgrades now.
When it's too hard to upgrade, the Angled Lie-Flat seats are still better than
E+......wait.....will E+ still there??

And I am not a UA basher. But those manual seats in Biz are a disgrace. I defected from DL after the "merger" with NW, but the NW seats were a million times more sophisticated and comfortable than the current UA seats operated by pulling levers and making things move by shifting weight and or assisting by hand. And NW had those seats for at least 5 years before I joined UA in 2008.
Sort of sad for a supposedly "World Class" Airline. Come to think of it, during my NW years I flew CO quite often. Their BF seats are miles ahead of UA's ( talking TPAC here ). I have never flown the reconfigured UA birds, which I understand are exclusively TATL.
