This is in a year where United lost over five billion dollars.
$86.885 is such a small percentage of $5,000,000,000 that it's not even worth loading up the calculator on my laptop. Could the money have been better SPENT? Sure, bring on two additional pilots/staff.

But it should be taken into account how the membership was used. If it was purely for him and his family, doesn't make sense...but if it was being used more as a corporate membership, I can begin to understand I suppose.
