Continental just announced on Twitter that it is adding economy plus seating world wide. "currently on United, coming soon on Continental."

Received an email from CO:
Quote
OnePass ® Elite member, you can enjoy the extra space and comfort of Economy Plus ® seating when you fly United worldwide. Located near the front of the economy cabin, Economy Plus gives you up to five inches of additional legroom to work or relax. And as part of a multi-year conversion beginning in 2012, we'll be expanding Economy Plus seating to the Continental fleet as well. It's one of many ways the new United is committed to providing innovative options and superior products and services that improve your travel experience.

OnePass Elite members can request Economy Plus seating, so be sure to take advantage of this new Elite benefit on your next United flight."

Now the way it works is, just like United, all CO elites have access to Economy Plus. CO only gave priority seating to CO Gold and up.
So let's hope it stays with all elites getting E+.
