Are you telling me fleet planning just flips a coin on fleet assignments?

Maybe you should start your own consulting firm. Then you can get the word out that the 737 isn't capable and no airline should have them in their fleet. Maybe get yourself a good defamation attorney on retainer though.
My main point was there were a lot of people complaining about the 739ER and I think it was a bit much considering how s*itty the other alternative is from a passenger perspective at UA. Please stop nitpicking my words.
