I was curious about the details because I just purchased an overseas flight and the upgrade was offered. I don't want to stray off topic too much... I am only 5'4" but my traveling companion is about 5'11". Trying to decide if the amenities that come with the E+ would be worth it.
If this rumor turns out to be accurate,perhaps CO has been hearing their customers. I know for myself, E+ is the only reason I choose UA over CO-if upgrades don't clear, E+ is a decent seat and absolutely necessary internationally

I'm short, but I love having the extra space and would be thrilled if CO did this.

With BF lie flat installs being accelerated, several ships are already in the shop and others converted, it would be costly to send them back.
I am wondering if it will indeed be 32" but with a middle seat blocked ala european 'business'...(they have better service as well)

to bootHaving the seat next to you empty doesnt give you much in the way of extra leg room if the person in front of you reclines
Since CO wouldnt be selling this outright as Premium Economy I dont see any seats being left empty, just as UA doesnt sell it as a separate cabin like BA does . But BA has a completely different cabin with better seating and bigger & wider. UA simply gives the exact same seat and service only more leg room

CO is so tightfisted with its cash that and so allergic to change that something like this would be a very welcome surprise. But it is probably cheaper than replacing those horrible coach seats with something comfortable. And it moves both companies closer to.......merger.

If this turns out to be true, next on the agenda* will be to break the contract with the church pew vendor CO sources its whY seats from. :-:
*I'm assuming the snack basket will appear before the fleet is reconfigured to E+

That is a Udu. IIRC you are in the CO forum; therefore it is an EUA. Or, more precisely yet, an EUA.
Preach on, brother.
