All UA A319s have have been converted to 12F configuration
FIRST CLASS CABIN
All A319s have the 'new' UA first class seat. There are 12 first class seats on the A319. Stated pitch is 37" and the width is 21. The seat recline on the A319 is quite generous, with the caveat that if the person in front of you is fully reclined, it is difficult to get out of the aisle seat and exiting the window seat will require the aisle seat to step into the aisle.
ECONOMY PLUS Section ROWS 7-21
Row 7 is the best row. Like on the A320, Row 7 has plenty of room plus the bulkhead does not extend all the way down to the floor, allowing you to store bags and your feet under Row 2.
21BC and 21DE do have an extra inch or two of legroom to allow folks to get to the Window Exit, but it is not nearly as generous as Row 20 and Row 21 on the A320.
Rows 8-12 have 35" of legroom and 18" width.
ECONOMY CLASS Section ROWS 22-35
Pitch is very tight at (30"), but at least the seats are wider then the 757.
IN FLIGHT ENTERTAINMENT
Wifi: Ku band wifi is installed on all A319s. Ku band wifi is the international wifi which enables internet access for the rare A319 trip outside of the lower 48.
Entertainment: Personal device entertainment is installed on all A319s. Make sure you have the latest United app loaded on your phone/tablet.
In-Seat Power: Installed in F and E+.
Other
There is a galley and lav at the front of the plane for First-class cabin.
There is a galley and two lavs at the rear of the plane for the economy cabin.

I was on a 319 yesterday ORD-SEA in 1C (took it after reading that there may be cutouts on both sides) and found the seat to be very pleasant. If the choices in F are 1C or 2D as they were for me, I'd go with 1C any day. (Surprised as a 1P to clear at F3 at 3 days, but it turns out the majority of folks were paid-F or reward-F no status -- my meal priority was 2 out of 8).
OTOH, the bins in F suck. I boarded 7th out of 8 for F, and all the bins and the closet were already gone. My bags ended up over the gap between row 2 and 6.

Row 1 for 319/320/737 sucks, even the cutout does not help much if you are over 6 ft, I'm 6'2" with long legs. You just can't stetch your legs out. I always go for row 2. Even with the seat in front of you fully reclined there is plenty of room for laptop etc. Don't go for row 3 on a 320 as if they swap it for a 319 you will probably end up in coach.

The value of the cutout. . .

. . . is much overstated.
You don't have to be 6-2 to discover that the cutout is pretty worthless. I'm 5-11, and still find myself pushing my feet up against the bulkhead if stuck in 1A, C or D. (1B lets you poach the aisle.) I tend to agree with the poster who said he'd take E+ rather than blow an upgrade.

For the window seat lovers (like me) out there, I found a small annoyance with seats 7A and 7F in the 319/320. Because of the window/seat alignment, the window column is right next to your shoulder when the seat is upright, which makes the space narrower. Not a major problem, but if there are other window seats open in E+, I'd choose them.

1C and 1D on a 319 are not for tall folks!
Recently got stuck in 1D with my 500 miles certs on a SEA-DEN trip on a mainline 319. I was VERY cramped. I'm 6 3 and I would have been more comfortable in E-!
If I ever get "upgrded" to 1C or 1D again, I'll ask to be downgraded back to coach.

(or is it 2BD) the asile seats on row 2, these are still asile seats in F even if you get 319d.

Risk losing 6F?
I'm thinking of burning off my 500 milers (because who knows what UA is going to decide to do with them next?) and as a 1P the chances are rare.
I often take 211 IAD-LAX (on a 319) which is seldom more than 1/3 full and appears to offer upgrade oppportunities. Even though I am perfectly happy in 6F with a blocked middle seat and a breakfast burrito from California Tortilla, I'm thinking of waitlisting for F on future flights.
Of course I would not even consider trading row 6 for row 1, so my question is, if I waitlist and clear, will I lose my row 6 seat before finding out if I'm being offered row 1 (which I would refuse) or row 2 (which I would accept)?
Thanks.

Yes. As soon as you clear, your seat assignment in Economy will be cleared and you will get a seat assignment in First.
Now, if United Easy Update works and notifies you in a way you can immediately know, then you can check to see what seat in First you were assigned and if you can move to something better. If you can't, chances are 6F will still be available.
However, Row 1 on the Airbus is not bad, frankly. You can't stretch out as much as Row 6, but you don't need to keep your knees bent 90° and your feet flat to the floor, either.
