... assuming a static J product. Over time, it's reasonable to assume UA will roll out an enhanced J product with all-aisle access from every seat and decent personal space if they want to compete with other carriers' J. If that is in place, then I am not as concerned about GF going away. Today, I agree - being the middle sardine on the 4-across 747 lower deck or IPTE 777 is exactly why I use many of my GPUs on GF, so that I can work and rest properly.
