That is also a concern of mine and you see it all the time on the flights. The new outfitting of the seats isn't doesn't necessarily mean United must come up with the cash up-front. There are so many deals made. Just like when people complained about the repainting of the United livery, when they were in bankruptcy.

They planes had to be repainted, only they were repainted to be cheaper. If you look at the new "First" suite, the actual seats look like the old ones, don't they? I'm nervous they are going to use the old seats and put new cushion on them....
