United is packing in more passengers than ever
United Airlines will be fitting its Boeing 757-300 fleet with slimline seats by the middle of 2018, increasing the number of economy seats on the aircraft to more than 200.
The Chicago-based carrier will add 21 seats to the main cabin on the aircraft for a total of 210 seats. First class will continue to have 24 seats.

And my friends wonder why I never fly anymore.
Just another reason to take any other form of transpo.
Eventually passengers will be sedated and placed in cargo containers.
I always thought airline seats were too roomy. The only thing worse is those airplane lavatories - way too much wasted space.
Eventually Fedzilla will get involved. Seats unsafe to sit in for a variety if reasons, and too many squeezed in to evac safely should the need arise.
* Grown Up Air for lack of a better term.
* The entire airplane has 1st class seating.
* No overheads, talk to Airline Pilots on the down-low, they want them gone.
* Dress up and behave, and the crew gives out prizes for it.
* Also, don't bring gobs of junk in with you leave your laptop and it's work with your baggage, sit and relax, free internet, tasteful music channels, and free-ear plugs if you need them and a decent snack.
How much more would you pay to get treated like like this rather than cattle? I'd certainly consider such a carrier....
Great. Increasing the loading and unloading time yet more.
The 757 was the most uncomfortable plane I’ve ever been on.
I flew on an Air Fance plane that had super skinny seats. I told my husband they must not have any fat people in Europe.
That’s OK. The average flyer is very intelligent and follows directions well. /s
It’s the same fuselage as the 707/727/737 but longer. The 757-300 is the longest of them all.
Yeah, no thanks. I’ll drive, no matter how long it takes.
Ladies, don't forget to lift your blouse as you land.

You mean flying the way one did in the sixties and seventies?
with style
and class?
The airlines are just doing their part to help solve the American obesity epidemic. First the food, now the seats.
In '85 I flew to London from Dulles. It was the last flight I recall being served an in-flight meal with real metal utensils.
Midwest Express used to have All first class seating for not too much more than the advanced coach fair from United/Delta/American/etc. They got bought out by another airline, and back to flying “Cattle Car Air.”
