What do you think? Will UA match it or make it even worse?
With all the doom and gloom being predicted in the "Lost business fall-out from Flight UA3411" thread, why would UA spend money to increase capacity?
Answer, of course, is that they wouldn't.
But then, perhaps the doom-and-gloom predictions are unfounded, and loads and bookings are holding steady.
Not exactly a bellwether for the industry, but BA already has some 29" seat pitches.
