That doesn't always mean that first is better. I'm sure if I asked whether Cathay Business or UA First is better, some people would choose Cathay Business. Just saying...

Except you're not comparing to Cathay business. You're comparing to US business. Different ball game. Also, I don't believe any USA based airlines' business class hard product can beat any USA based airlines' F.

How big is globalfirst? I know the envoy class is small which usually means better service.
I never flew globalfirst but envoy class was amazing! (was from PHL-TLV)

It's not big, the number of seats escape me at the moment.  United Global First is a really nice product with a great little suite.
