I don't know why United does it, just that the A320/A319 swap is so common with them that on frequent-flyer forums it often gets a stickied thread with tips on what to do, warning signs, etc. Hence the advice about never taking a seat in row 3 (and for economy passengers, never booking into the last couple rows of the aircraft, since those seats don't exist on the 319).
- mherdeg 13y agoThere's also a counterintuitive "always choose row 3" option, where you make yourself more likely to be downgraded but also more likely to be offered a travel voucher under United's fairly generous distance-based compensation policy (internal documentation "GG OVS DOWNGRADE").
