own press release that E+ seats are excluded, but the release doesn't mention PE seats.
As for whether BE tickets should have been included or not, the logical choice would be not to include them, but the reality of a social media post of one photo of a scared child sitting between two dodgy looking adults.....
The FAARA language specifically excepted seats with extra pitch and UA's press release refers to Preferred Seats -- note the capitalization which I take to be a specific reference to the PS offering (e.g. a more desirable Y seat) -- so I don't see an interpretation that would include E+, P+, or anything that's not currently a "white seat" or "white seat with black triangle" on a seat map.Again from my jaded POV this is a lot of PR noise for no significant actual change [perhaps an improvement because it will be more likely to see Y-wth-fam in Y seats rather than shuffled up to E+, etc.
I see children with dodgy looking adults all the time. Usually the child addresses them as "Mom" or "Dad"
