Boeing 757-300 (753)
Seat map (24Domestic F seats/55E+/134E configuration)
Entertainment -- now 100% personal device entertainment (DirecTV has been removed)
WiFi (Internet access for a fee)
Power -- F & E+ , none in regular economy
1A/B has a great cutout for extra foot space, 1E/F has no cutout and may be tight for taller passengers.
New Slimline 753s
This link Interim 757-300 seat map shows a strange interim seat map that you might want to consult if the one(s) above do not match what you are seeing on United.bomb.
See the bottom of the Wiki there for warnings about seat selection.

Just wondering how big the spread between xCO and ATA 753's is? What makes the ATA birds so tired?
I've got a HNL-LAX flight on a 753 later this month.
I had a 753 LAX-ORD flight booked last week, but it cancelled due to aircraft maintenance. I guess that bird was too tired!

It's too early for an aircraft assignment but there are no dedicated 753s on those flights. They are rotated throughout the domestic system. Some days it will be the original CO 753s, others it will be the ATA hand-me-downs.

Why are the ATA ones tired? They were all refurbished with the retro CO interior when they were bought from ATA.

Just an observation, appears as if 33A and 33F are not considered E+ seats anymore....

I will echo the sentiment that the ATA vs pmCO interiors don't seem to be any more tired than the other... personally I consider all of the pmCO cloth interiors to be getting a bit tired (especially on the 73G fleet) but maybe that's because I've been flying it since I was in middle school.

had a 757-3 yesterday for morning iad->lax flight
plane got subbed last minute from a non-dtv to one with DTV
the FC seats were really nice as the base slid forward as I reclined so i got a better angle and was more easily able to sleep for 4 hours of the flight
loved the plane far more then the 737-9's i have had in the last week

I see nothing wrong with the 757-300 fleet. Yes they look a bit outdated due to the colors they chose, but they are comfortable aircraft.

Problem with Row 6, you may not get your first choice in meals. I avoid row 1 on the 757, but that's just me.

It's completely a personal preference issue. Some people don't like the bulkhead because of the hard wall in front and no underseat storage.
I personally much prefer the bulkhead, particularly on the pmCO aircraft, because in the other rows the seats go back so far you wind up with the pax in front of you basically in your lap. Feels quite claustrophobic to me.
1A/1B on the 753 have a large cut-out for your feet. Those would be my seats of preference.
