UA metal only, IIRC.

Sigh. Okay, thanks. Looks like it's the economy cabin for me.

They say suffering is good for the soul. I managed to survive a few transcons on US and only have a very slight limp as a result.

I just came back from China a couple of weeks ago on UA in coach -- at least it was E+ and even THAT got unbearable when I had to connect from my transpac to a 4+ hour flight from Chicago to SNA.
Only reason I'm flying US is because they're the only *A carrier with full-size planes going in to Chattanooga.

Every US mainline flight I've taken outside of their Shuttle product have sold u/g's at the gate--at least as of the last times I forced myself to endure US, that was. Maybe they have more "success" filling the F cabin with their elites and paid fares these days.
