How long is your commute? Try sitting in one for 10-12 hours. You might change your opinion...
my commute is 3.5 to 4.5 hours depending on the season and the direction of flight :D |

Delta scope is pretty much our scope (we copied theirs) so the EMB190 is a mainline plane. Too big to be flown at Express.

That is until their next TA offers 25% pay increases if they give up scope for the e190s. You never know what they have planned.

I'm 6ft 3in 250 LBS and commute every week on slim line seats and find them just as comfortable as anything else. I also appreciate the extra leg room I have in the far back of the aircraft.

there are A319-132 and -133's coming from China and the Reg numbers will Start at N856UA. these are higher MGWT and a higher power tthan our -131's but they'll have some differences due to added equipment required by the FAA that the Chinese CAA does not require. There are only a handful of the 50 available with Solid N Numbers assigned so far that I know of. But!!
Time will tell when we see the actual condition of the airplanes !! this could be useful info: 4885 A319-132 N885UA N515NK/Spirit 4886 A319-132 N886UA N519NK/Spirit 4887 A319-132 N887UA N521NK/Spirit 4871 A319-132 N871UA CSN 4872 A319-132 N872UA CSN 4873 A319-132 N873UA CSN 4874 A319-132 N874UA CSN 4875 A319-132 N875UA CSN 4876 A319-132 N876UA CSN 4877 A319-132 N877UA CSN 4878 A319-132 N878UA CSN 4879 A319-132 N879UA CSN 4880 A319-132 N880UA CSN 4881 A319-132 N881UA CSN 4882 A319-132 N882UA CSN 4883 A319-132 N883UA CSN 4884 A319-132 N884UA CSN 4889 A319-132 N889UA B-6219/CSN 4890 A319-132 N890UA B-6220/CSN 4891 A319-132 N891UA B-6158/CSN 4892 A319-132 N892UA B-6160/CSN 4893 A319-132 N893UA B-6161/CSN 4894 A319-132 N894UA B-6162/CSN 4895 A319-132 N895UA B-6168/CSN 4896 A319-132 N896UA B-6239/CSN 4897 A319-132 N897UA B-6241/CSN 4898 A319-132 N898UA B-6242/CSN 4899 A319-132 N899UA B-6243/CSN I stand corrected, they're all A319-132's it appears. A little heavier and a little more power than our -131's the list is bigger than this but not all of the N numbers and nose numbers have been assigned, I have no Idea what the total Number will actually be. It seems like a lot of airplanes owing to the 737-900's on order and the 737Max airplanes on order. Not to mention the Rumored E190's or E195's to come. it's going to be a "Wing Ding Doodle" around WHQ.. I can only guess what it might be at DENTK.. |
Those seats are comfortable to you?? Really?!? Though actually Econ Plus is tolerable. ORD-SFO or ORD-SMF..
which is all I've flown in a couple of years.. |

Let's put it this way, I'v been commuting for 10 years mostly on UA. The new slim line seats are not any more comfortable or any less comfortable than any other seat I have sat in. Maybe my expectations are not very high, set your expectations low and you will never be dissapointed. Coach is miserable and the cramming they do aft of ECON plus should be illegal but the seat is fine.
Thanks for the info on the tail numbers!! Hopefully we can fill in the rest of your list with airframes. |

The arm rests are way too low for a normal person and the plastic seat frame jams into your knees if you sit in a position where you can place your arms on the armrest. I miss the days of the blue thick cloth padded seats on United, it was like sitting on one of those 90s lazyboys.
