Those are the kinds of things that can shoot us in the foot if we insist on something that the rest of the industry doesn't go along with.
The A350 FCRF doesn't comply with FAR 117. This is nothing like the 737 or the 767 situations. If only United had gone with the original 777 FCRF imagine how much revenue that would not have been lost to the First Class seats required to mitigate the substandard Hart Langer closet.
This is a safety issue that requires standing up for what is right.
