I think this is more likely than a Polarization of the HDs. Still, I think UA will end up leaving them as they are until they are retired. If they go to recliners, they'd pretty much have to restrict them to the West Coast / Hawaii market and probably put Polaris a/c between Hawaii and ORD/DEN/IAH. I could also see 777 recliners on daytime flights between Las Vegas and ORD/EWR, BOS/IAD-West Coast, etc.
