I don’t think it will be the end of E+ domestically. United was the first to offer it domestically and I think they realize that if they eliminate it they will lose many loyal customers. If UA decides to match Delta and stoop down to their level then that will be a bad decision IMO. Currently this is where UA stands out and differentiates their product domestically, which I believe earns them some good revenue.

Delta also added quite a few F seats domestically where UA and CO have not. I think you will see UA with the same F config and E+ whereas Delta is adding E+ internationally and additional F seats domestically without any E+. Although it would be nice to have a third row of F on UA 319's . Just my opinion, who knows.

I did read in the February Hemisphere's magazine that Smisek said seating changes will be announced soon, along with his dreaded message that we will like the changes… Let's hope that this time we do all really like the changes.
