not to mention that these shiny brand new frames still don't have a J cabin with direct aisle access for those passengers. UA really could have made the 787 a game changer but didn't.

Age is just a # with Delta. Not only did they have the best on time and completion percentages, but cabin mods, wifi, ife and the award winning Delta hospitality still keeps UA down for the count no matter what the age of the plane.
