So I'm guessing things were awesome on UA before SMI/J because there was a ton of films offered and fantastic food? (I don't remember either of those in Y).

AFAIK, long-haul flights on CO and UA have a mid-flight or pre-arrival snack and Y on the 777s and 752s have AVOD that features up to date movies. The 767s have 8 channels on a loop. Oh, and all of the TATL planes have power in Y (EmPower on the 767s and 110v on the 757s and 777s).

Smisek has already talked about bringing the UA longhaul fleet up to snuff.
