Last Thursday at Westchester County Airport in White Plains, United Airlines, which is scheduled to leave bankruptcy protection tomorrow, showed off one of the new, roomy 70-seat E-170 jets that it has begun using to replace smaller regional jets on its flights from White Plains, a big corporate center, to its hub in Chicago. The new planes, operated under still another new United brand, Explus, have six first-class seats with 38 inches of legroom, 16 economy plus seats with 34 inches and 48 economy seats with 31 inches. United Airlines, which has been a tough negotiator with its regional jet suppliers in the past, made the decision on how to configure the new E-170's, said Warren R. Wilkinson, a Republic spokesman.
