The company said a few weeks ago that revenue in the Pacific was the highest ever as well as all Premium revenue systemwide. The only segment that is down is domestic economy, which is why the LCCs are all getting crushed. I fly exclusively pacific, and every flight is packed and generally takeoff both ways at max takeoff gross weight because they have more cargo than can be carried.

Delta and American can easily release their own “sky couch”. United doesn’t own the concept, just the design via domestic license with their specific seat vendor. DL or AA could license through Air New Zealand for their “sky couch” design, can make micro engineering or cosmetic changes via alternative mechanisms, or wait for the United license to expire with their vendor; or choose a different seat vendor with their own license.
As with anything in the airline world (like WiFi, IFE, premium push, loyalty, etc), one airline will do something and the rest follow. Except, AA and DL can wait and see if the idea is a bust or not.
