Well, actually there is*

But of course your broader point stands. If UA has a 739 on a route it's because they expect to sell more seats (both F and Y) than if they put an E75. The only time this works out in our favor is if they're wrong about that.

*739 with no mid-aft door or 2L/R plugged are limited to IIRC 189 pax due to egress restrictions

I agree with you. You'd be stupid to choose the E175 which is booked 11/12 over a 737 booked 1/20.
However, you don't know the "available seats for upgraders" until boarding time. Until then, you must use the following metric:

# F seats open at booking / # Y seats on the plane

The larger this fraction, the better. Anyway, we should return to discussing long E175 routes.

thats crazy—the 175 has the best seat in Y of any UA aircraft. Seat 7A is as good a seat as anything on a 737 or even Airbus.

+1 (spacious underseat storage under 4A)
If 7A is taken, then 7B has unlimited legroom (even though no underseat storage). With 2 lavs, no one should need to get by you after the cabin service is completed. On these longer flights, that's a significant period of time.

Agreed, I like the 175 far more than some of the recent 737's.

I fly one IAH to BOI regularly to visit family, 1475 miles.
