was referring to NRT but youre correct DEN-NRT will be there but if Im correct there isnt any DEN-NRT right now so its not like LAX where its going from a 3 to a 2 cabin, its going from 0 cabins to 2 cabins
I was trying to pt out to the other person that for now there still will be routes with F to NRT just not LAX or the new DEN in regards to PMUA routes

There's little doubt anymore the CO model of having only 2 classes of service is the one that would win out if the current regime had any choice. No matter what the apologists may try and sell, there is an F market, the company has made a strategic decision to stop chasing/ceed it (p.s.). The comparison to "top tier" suite products, priced well above UA F, is, unsurprisingly, intellectually dishonest. Not to mention the accessibility of UA's F cabins to FFs. Always interesting to see customers cheering for the rcalibration of the company's top prodct downwards, especially when said product has relatively low barriers to entry.
Lastly, at the current time, there is nothing benefitting of the "First" in BusinessFirst when you consider the midpack product being offered. No direct aisle access and relatively cramped bedding lengths being the main offenders.
why then did they put a PMUA 763 EWR-ZRH when they wre using a PMCO 762? the same with EWR-BRU where all they did was switch a 2 cabin PMCO for a 3 cabin PMUA both were 777s
