I recently spoke with a Senior Account Executive with United in SFO and according to him, United is in the process of securing a vendor to revamp the United Business product with lie-flat beds in United Business as well as upgraded IFE. He said that the upgraded product would start to be phased in during the second half of 2006, but as of yet, United is still soliciting numerous vendors.

I hope they do better than they did with the PS first class seats. They are JUNK. We never have parts. UA need to get 1K passenger input along with maintenance input. What good is a product that always breaks? I hear a lot of passengers prefer business on the 757 PS over 1st class. Sometimes the best purchase price isn't necessarily the best for cost efficiency over time. I really think they should do their homework this time around.
