On COdbaUA? That's an easy one. 3-4-3 in coach. The only open question is whether E+ will be 9-across as it is on AA. With United? It will almost certainly be 3-4-3 in E+ as well.
But this is a new aircraft that doesn't yet exist in UA's fleet, so there is no reconfiguration, just a configuration. Can they truly be that myopic?

Even AA offers 3-3-3 MCE, would UA not even meet that bar?

I'd like to think they have enough intelligence to launch a new business seat -- not just for these Ws -- but also for the 87s and 350s. It's a crime that 787s are coming off the production line and have non-direct aisle access seats.
Well with that track record, I can see how my previous statements were "optimistic."
