Push back, my friend. Like your life depends on it. Those seats are like the crappy slimline domestic F seats but less comfortable due to the leg/foot rest. The footrest really restricts your ability to stretch out and is a real bad shin-knocker.
This has nothing to do with UA and the concern that once implemented, the UG with a cert from Y will be to PE. not C.
Rather this has to do with corporate travel policies. It is for those large corporate customers that US carriers have started rolling out a PE product.
There is no question in my mind that many corporate travel policies which have previously provided for F/J on longer-haul travel will now provide for a one-class UG from Y for many travelers. Why? The entire PE scheme is largely what corporate customers want.
