I don't care much of garlic bread, but I do care about sUA's Focaccia which was long gone.

I think that is a very good question, the slim line seats on the 319/320 doesn't fit any PTV at all, not unless there is a different kind of slim line seats.

If E+ is maintain, this is two more rows of E-.
And the lost of a OHB, bag space is not going to be a BG4 problem but a BG3 problem

Surprise, surprise... more small ball from UA! Why even bother with food service at all?

The configuration information is nothing new, and the 'space saving' lavs are the same as have been installed on the newest 739ERs (same as DL).

The 737-900 (#3811 and higher) already are all Slimlined. These are the ones that sUA has received and are currently flying. If i am not mistaken there are 28 of these in the sUA fleet already and 12 more are on the way this year.

Well the rumors are paning out.....My favorite is the GUM-HNL-GUM flights going to paid meals in Economy.

HNL-GUM-HNL transitioning to Choice Menu Choice Menu will now be offered in United Economy on all flights between HNL and GUM, which aligns the market with North America. This decision was made after analysis by Pacific sales, Marketing, Food Services and Inflight Services, and allows us to offer improved, high quality products that would not be economically feasible on a complimentary basis.

If they are going to "align the market with North America" then they should be consistent and only require an RPU for that market NOT GPUs.

With no entertainment whatsoever. I guess this is the future of UA.

Bombs away!

I'm 5'9', 165lbs. I find the lavs tight now. Maybe the idea is to get passengers to not go, thereby reducing servicing costs.

Maybe this is one way United reduces costs - by eliminating passenger waste.

Garlic bread sure seems like an odd thing to cut. How much can one save by not putting garlic on bread?
