did United do anything to make good on losing your E+ seats? I would be pretty upset being an elite and having to suffer in E seats by a degrade...
it was so long ago that i honestly can't remember but for me, if it happens, while it's a pita to ride in e-*,
stuff happens and besides, seat assignments are not guaranteed
*could be worse, could be raining

(or raining and being stuck in ewr

)
