42F in domestic style recliners and 408 coach.

Looks like we'll continue to have the flying museum aspect of old UA for years to come.

So much whining here about getting domestic widebodies like the 'good old days', well kids....here it is. They weren't glamorous back in the 90s and they aren't glamorous now.
Not really. You're omitting the multitude of 3-class hub-Hub positioning flights that people are taking about when they speak of the good old days. And by that, we mean 95-2010. And the 747-100..those were gone soon after the 36 744s UAL ordered all came in. 3-cabin and most definitely used domestically. I don't know any other airline that ran the amount of intl. widebodies with lie flat F domestically that UAL did those years. Certainly not CO or DL. AMR had some, but didn't have the 3-class lift that UAL had.
