E+ is NOT a different product IMO...but mearly smoke and mirrors especialy on B-747 with 17 in seats...and please sneaking into E+ is not like you are trying to seank into J on AC....that's like comapring an apple to a pear!!! I'll take my chances thank you very much and sneak in E+ next time for the hell of it...heck if I can survive the Fire Breathing Dragons in YYZ MLL Domestic a meager UA FA should be a breeze!...LOL:D^

^:D:D Keep us posted. I do not have the misfortune of flying UA so can't test it myself.

True.. less J seats.. and likely an FA having a seating plan..

Compared to E+ which is half of Y basically.. definitely can blend in without likely being questioned..

If I have the misfortunes of flying UA again anytime soon will do!:D^

I've seen gate agents checking boarding passes of those in E+ to ensure they are sitting in their assigned zone. Sneaking into E+ is no different than stealing a candy bar from Wal-Mart. Will that single theft bring down the company? No, but its still theft.
Why not loosen the chains from your wallet and pay up for what you want. It isn't all that expensive. My company puts me in E. I pay up my own dime for E+. At least I can sleep at night knowing I've not been cheating or stealing.....

+1, it is theft of a service!

Theft means stealing something of value!....pllleeeassseee...E+ is nothing near something of value worth stealing!!!!:td:

It is something that otherwise carries an extra charge. If, by your reasoning, it carries no value; then why are we debating whether or not someone should try and poach an E+ seat when being assigned E-. If there is no distinction between the two, it would be a moot issue.

Because UA shouldn't be denying us the seats that we give them in return to their members on AC!
I am taking justice in my own hands and will plunk my arse on an E+ in the very near future if I ever have the misfortunes of flying on one of those TIN CANS ever again!...end of rant.^:mad:

I don't really understand this point - I live in Vancouver, so I fly United for most of my US-bound flights. (AC wants me to go through their YYZ hub - Flip that.)

From a pure seating perspective, E+ is way better than anything in AC's Y class. On UA I can actually work on my laptop in E+. Can't do that anywhere on AC.

What exactly are we 'giving' Mileage Plus members on AC? There's no E+ on AC's domestic flights...

I don't wish you "good luck" in your enterprise. E+ is a cost plus product and basically you will be stealing it. UA FAs do keep an eye out for such moves, so I look forward to hearing how you do.

Duh we give you access to our preferred seats and exit rows and bulkheads!:td:
I say throw the lot of you right at the back of our bus by a toilet and sandwich two screaming babies while we are at it as well!^:D

...stay tuned as I am a branded thief now on FT!...so what sue me for an E+ seat!^

Tell that to the judge. UA provides additional space for a prorated additional charge. You either buy it by the flight, or in bulk by paying the annual upgrade fee. Or by earning elite status on the airline. It is not a STAR entitlement! Curious, you don't feel E+'s extra inches are really anything of value, but you want to sit in those seats and take advantages of them. How do you spell H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E !

Didn't you mean to say RECIPROCATE?
