As old and tired as the domestic configs are (both sCO and sUA), the upgrade chances are decent (especially on the latter due to smaller Y cabin). I'm also biased to sUA's Y seats, so it stings less when the upgrade doesn't clear. 7E on the 752 is one of the best coach seats in the fleet. ^

That said, IME the 757s have seemed more MX-prone. I don't know if that's statistical fact, though.

Sounds like a nice refresh for those birds. ^ Please let us know if it has Channel 9 and if there are other hard product differences.

I wonder, will there be AVOD for Hawaii pax if the 753s stay on those routes?
