I guess it's fine for the upgraders that are over-represented on FT, but paid J pax can't help but laugh.
They are? I thought JFK-SFO/LAX are on the high J 763s?
UA did a weird refresh project with the 757s recently. They installed all new Y seats with new AVOD but seemed to only put new seat cushions on the J seats with no actual replacement. They also didn't replace the ceiling panels which makes the cabin extremely dated throughout the plane (DL even did this on the ex-Song domestic 757s from the 1980s).
