Why so defensive? I never suggested GF isn't better than BF. If it wasn't, I wouldn't have flown UA in paid GF dozens of times over the last couple years. But
coinboy66's question was from an aspirational standpoint, which is not something IMO he should waste his time or miles on.
Also, I've had to wait for bathrooms in GF on many occasions. One type of the 772 (I think XJ) only has 1 bathroom, and so does the 763 and also gets blocked off for crew use. GF service is also wildly hit or miss.

The reality is that UA shows no sign of understanding or competing in the market.
Well, why would they after all? It's a product they're clearly getting rid of.
