LAX-EWR red-eye? Don't need to see the inventory - the odds are very low.
Even worse, the current aircraft assignment is the 772 HD, which is quite uncomfortable (10 across) in Y and one of the most difficult aircraft in the UA fleet to upgrade due to the very low J:Y ratio.
Personally, I would be looking at a different option.
