I agree that the food menus could do with a revamp but the seats themselves are solid and a far cry from non lie-flat products like the old UA seats, AA's current seats (not on the rare 77W), etc.
Exactly. If you want to complain about stepping over your seatmate, recall the contortions we had to go through to escape the window seat when the aisle seat in the row ahead was fully reclined. You had to be a ninth degree yogi and even then ended up about 2 inches away from your seatmate's face. With the lie flats, it's simple: just put your foot rest down, stand up, and step over. If you've got a bum hip or are a POS, you should go for the aisle seat. Otherwise, no prob.
As for the topic at hand, put me firmly in the pmCO camp. In addition to the other pmUA beefs (4 across, really? flying backwards?), there really is NO storage room, which is problematic when you need to work on a computer with access to papers, etc. Not much with the pmCO seats, but at least there's some.
