UA is not SQ.
Do you think in this case, owing to the announced elevated service, that they will have to train the FA's on how to provide that? I would hope that with the thousands of dollars more that these seats will cost that my caviar is not going to be just plopped on the plate and that my bubbly will be constantly topped off.

I aspire to replicate the famous champagne thread from awhile back.
