The configuration is 2-3-2 on my 777 flight NRT-SEA which I still don't think much of but it is a lot better then 2-4-2.

How does UA expect to compete with these kind of configurations.
actually if I could chose between the 2-3-2 or 2-4-2 planes it would be the 2-4-2 Hands Down!

Why simple 2-3-2 plane is 55x20.5 for the Biz seat, the 2-4-2 plane is 77x23.PLUS the 2-3-2 are recliner seats (old planes with 2-5-2 in Y) while the 2-4-2 are Lie-flats

so your question should be how does UA expect to sell the 2-3-2 Biz class when its not lie-flats, smaller seat and no AVOD like the 2-4-2 has. The 2-4-2 are the new configs with 3-3-3- in Y
