Those who rarely sit in Y may prefer the opposite. There will be winners and losers there.

Fantastic news, and means a lot to those of us who may not be able to make 1K (or whatever the new 100K EQM equivalent will be) every year. E+ is the reason I started flying UA in the first place, and makes the ride so much more tolerable when the upgrade doesn't clear.

Thanks for the update, Scott. Nice to see you back.
Here's one CO flier that prays that E+ does not come at the expense of F seats.

Good. It appears they took their time, looked at it with fresh eyes, and made the call.
Can't help but think that DL's announcement forced their hand a bit, but still, it seems CO is moving through their fleet planning deliberately, so the Sturm und Drang can (hopefully) stop now.

Great news! I just had a response from 1K Voice this morning about my letter them in support of retaining and expanding E+. I think I'm going to take credit for this!

I officially don't care about the livery now....
Scott, FWIW... this announcement just shored up my business for many years.

Nice to hear from you Scott!
Let's hope this is not done by eliminating FC seats.
