I have not flown LD in years on 744 so I really do not know how to compare present situation. Also, I am almost always on UA metal so my comments relate to preceeding disclosures.

I love the UD and design my trave around the avaibility of select seats in the UD, ie, if seats in the exit row (UA row 15) I seek to alter the itn, change dates, etc. Of course, this is not rational behavior as the idea is just to get from point A to point B right? But of course, I was transferred to my present post in Texas...and I did not resign. Kind of revealing, yes?
