I'm surprised that UA is selling 8 F seats in the 777 F cabin. Per discussion at http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unite...-blocking.html this seems like it's ok but they may end up blocking some J seats:

777-200 double augmented (4 pilot crew) requires two bunks AND one premium break seat seat in cabin (J or higher) and an additional break seat in the highest class of service available - after all revenue customers have been accommodated OR one IPP seat in the bunk room and one IPP seat in the cabin OR two IPP seats in the cabin.

787 single augmented requires one bunk and one premium break seat in crew rest facility.

787 double augmented requires two bunks and one premium break seat in crew rest facility AND one additional break seat in the highest class of service available after all revenue customers have been accommodated.

767-200/300/400 requires one IPP seat per augmenting crewmember.

757-200 with lie-flat seats requires one premium lie flat window seat, the adjacent aisle seat shall be the last seat assigned on the aircraft.

737, A319/320, 757-300, and 757-200 without lie-flat seats require one premium seat grouping in the highest class of service.

(IPP seat means "international premium product" - must be lay flat, be enclosed by a bunk room or have a sound-deadening floor-length curtain, be equivalent to passenger premium seats including comfort and convenience items, and be a pod seat or a seat grouping which means a seat or group of adjacent seats that are separated from seats used by passengers by an aisle or window on both sides.)
Editorially, just how United loyal is your wealthy client? Would they really not be ok with flying some other *A carrier with a connection or some other carrier?
