You guys obviously haven't been on Air Canada's 777-200 non-stop service YVR-SYD.
other thoughts:
-NZ is a nicer product, but beginning 2014, it'll be hard to get PQD's on those flights. Business win for UA.
-QF Y service on 388 is almost as bad as UA Y service on 744. Correction. The food & service is superior. It's the equipment. Yes. IFE has no comparison until the Y guy in front of you in the 388 reclines your IFE into your chest.
-QF Y service on 744 is quite nice IMO. I just did that LAX-BNE a couple months ago. Fine Kangaroo painted on the side of the fuselage.
-UA 787 Y seats are squishy in 3-3-3 configuration but that's UA's fault. NH flies the same piece of metal with Y in a 2-4-2 configuration. It's ironic that NH provides more Y space. Did Boeing get its deliveries swapped?
-When UA gets rid of all of their 744's to the other side of the Pacific, I'll gladly fly UA more often.
-I kind of miss the PMCO planes when I fly PMCO domestic routes. The PMUA planes have a lot fewer F class seats into which to upgrade, no DirectTV and no cheeseburgers.
