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.
UA 747 TPAC flights have lie-flat biz-class seats, and they are much better than current 777 equivalent seats. You won't see 777 lie-flat til end of 2011 most likely given the pace of UA conversion, but UA NRT-SFO routing have 747 lie-flat seats, which are better than AA angled lie-flat seats.
