Any pics?
This definitely raises the bar, and I have no doubt that CO will respond in kind. The question is whether they will roll out a new J product that will be comparable to the likes of the new BE or whether they will introduce a seat that is better, maintaining BF's position as the best J class of any US carrier. In addition, UA eventually will introduce a new C class that has not yet been developed or announced (correct?), and next generation BF will have to be equal to or greater than that new product.
