Asking around, I found this was requested by a very small number of second-rate, 3rd world airlines for massive cattle-car flights (e.g. ultra-cheap Haj trips from SE Asia). Apparently, United is doing its best to bring 3rd world conditions to 1st world aviation.
Haha, I see you haven't flown Japanese airlines. If United were first-world they'd be "zeroth world". But they do not have those air vents.
Speaking of which, isn't flying United cattle-class?
