The problem for UA of course is that the 787-9 is actually new. It's amazing to me that people talk about the AA 772 being "very dated" when the 787 is still going to have these generation-old seats (that are not being well-received by FT'ers) even by the time AA's 772 retrofit is done. This is also completely ignoring the fact that the "very dated" AA 772 has 16 lie-flat seats all with direct aisle access in the front cabin, so it's not like AA fliers don't have good options on this "very dated" plane.
