UAL's oldest 777's, the A's, have 364 seats. The new 300ER's are 366. The A's are a candidate to be replaced in the net 5 years or so. 1994 is the oldest.
So, the 787-10, not really a replacement for the A's. Unless you put in cattle car seating like the A's. 10 across in back. Sardine anyone?

Why do we care?
People are buying the cheapest seats possible and if that keeps making money so be it. Remember those profit sharing checks the last couple of years and then compare that's to the previous decade when United was a "premium" airline.

Exactly. People shop purely by price, followed in a distant second by schedule. Go to any travel website, search for flights, and tell me how they're ranked. I don't see seat width/pitch/cabin configuration as a metric for sorting the options.

If it’s sorted to the top as cheapest, they’ll buy it.
