I loved it!! The only thing that's even marginally bad about it is that the left armrest is solid because of the tray table. I am not exaggerating when I say that I had just as much room as I did in a bulkhead "Connoisseur Class" seat on a 767-200 IAD-ZRH in 1994, except I didn't have the little drink holder between the seats. Easily 42" of pitch, 18" wide (you lose the .25 due to the tray table in the seat). And the seat is contoured to work for a tall person, as opposed to the 737/757 E+ seats or even the 737/319 F seat.

I would fly in this particular seat over any UA 737/757 Y seat, and I'd fly in it instead of paying cash for 500-milers to fly in a UA 737 F seat.
