CO may not want them, but the Airbii have UA's best coach product and really one of the best coach products in the sky. I never feel the need to upgrade on those planes and I don't mind buying last-minute full-Y because the E+ section is almost always available and so extremely comfortable for this 6'4" guy. An extra inch of width + 36" pitch makes for a very nice ride, even on a transcon.
The UA crews aren't so bad, either, but the GA's in UA's hubs are generally terrible.
