Really unfortunate there is no F on these birds as there certainly would be no reason to pay C. The proof will be to see if the seat is more of a UA quality or they've gone the cheap, uncomfortable route like all the other seats they are installing.
Are you saying,with a straight face, that United offered a world class Business class prior to 2010 and that it stopped offering a competitive product after the merger? When the seats didn't change?
