Those carriers deploying a PE product (AA and DL) can target their J project at the revenue market and have PE for upgrades. With no PE product at UA, their J product is their upgrade product, so they need a big dense cabin if they want to market upgrades.

So the effective lenght will be shorter for tall people with large feet.'
If the Vantage XL foot box isn't tapered, it must be narrow from the start, since the side table it's under isn't that wide.
