United's main rival, Delta, predicted that for the first time ever this year, premium revenue will overtake main cabin sales.

In other words, airlines are way more focused on the people who turn left

when boarding a plane than the ones who turn right.

Toby, I don't think there's a better visualization of the K-shaped economy than a 2026 United airplane seating chart.

I don't know how much that's going to cost.

Right.

People were freaking out about it.

And I just should add, this is not the first airline to do something like this.

Nippon in Japan has a similar mechanism for booking an entire road to lie down.

And Air New Zealand has something called the Sky Couch, which does something similar.

Air New Zealand is always a pioneer in this space because you have to fly really far to get there.

anywhere or to New Zealand.

But it does speak to, I think, just the overall amenities and push for premium that United and other airlines are going after.

And it's four planes, large and small, not just the big planes, but also they debuted this regional jet, a CRJ450, which is like going from, you know, Tulsa to Denver.

They're ripping out, they just, currently this plane has 50 economy seats.

So it's just, you know, regular seating.

But now they're going to put just 450

41 seats, 34 has economy, and seven first-class seats.

So they're just big and small.

It doesn't matter the plane.
