Of course this is great news to many PMCO people... But I am pleased that another UA differentiation is not being lost in CH 9! ^
Thank you UA for providing the best of UA to the old CO fleet... Now what changes will we be liking for PMUA flyers? Still waiting... Oh I guess we are shrinking PS?
In any event thanks for keeping CH 9!

But p.s. has the worst E+ seats.
Now 72 Y becomes 114Y. I bet there won't be an extra inch of legroom.
In addition, people paying full C have no place to upgrade.
Removing F without increasing C means that premium seating is reduced by 1/3.
People need to understand this before cheering.

Maybe even less.

Agree with the poster that AA is going to have to rethink their strategy. Delta does quite well with 16 seat J cabins on their transcons (especially to LAX); Virgin America has the same seats as Delta and seems to do well and United is moving in that direction. Given that the UA J seats will be true lie-flat versus recliners found on DL and VX (and AA 3-cabin J on this route), UA will have the best non-AA F premium cabin here.

Changes Confirmed - But What About New Seats?
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/United...71762.html?x=0
So we're getting Channel 9 and Wifi fleet wide and some other improvements - but the article talks about seating improvements specifically. Is CO/UA ordering new coach seats to replace the abysmal seating quality currently found on both airlines?
Could the Air Canada Y seats be coming to our fleet?
