I must admit that it was fun watching that 33 page thread in the UA forum concerning the flights last weekend on which UA was supposed to introduce the new Business and First Class seats. Everyone engaged in wild speculation about the product launch, then bought tickets and burned upgrade instruments to be on what they thought would be the flights on which the new premium products debuted. Then, UA pulled the rug out from everyone at the last minute, postponing the launch of the new product and failing to announce a new launch date.
