Not a ton of that traffic these days either.

The standard 737 F seats do not recline far enough, nor do they have foot/legrests, so they cannot qualify as a Class 3 rest facility.
My recollection is 1AB was replaced with a closet. 2AB recline into 3AB for the full angle (160 degrees, maybe) required. And then 4AB can be sold.
Either way the 737s flying in UA's North America operations don't have the facilities to operate with sufficient augmented crew allowances to permit that to work.
