Yes. Some business travelers will now be able to book economy fares that include E+ seats that they would not normally occupy. It will affect some who book the cheaper (non-BE) fares and want the free E+ due to shrinking availability..

All we know is that E+ is potentially being bundled w/ some fares. UA hasn't gurgled anything about changes to free E+ selection - that is all speculation. The only real impact that can be discerned from the bundling at this point is probably less inventory of E+ seats for free.
