I may be too old to learn a new language (I still catch myself using NWA-isms ) and in my four legs I think there are four different J configurations. On three I managed to get single seats but the last leg (EWR-LAX) is 2-2-2 in J, so I *could* have somebody next to me.
Depending on your tolerance for layovers, take a look to see whether the EWR-LAX flight after yours has the new, 1-1-1 layout. Alternatively, it's possible that UA does an aircraft swap closer to departure date and puts you on a plane with the new seating.
