Is it a glitch or is the consensus that it's a set up for a possible swap?
The 8 seats on a 739 is pretty common these days (also on a 738). I don't think it really indicates a swap will happen so much as UA is leaving open the possibility of it. Setting inventory to F8 A0 is just RM playing mind games with you, and is yet another reason I hate the 319.
