Interesting set of reactions on the CR1s

UA/CO 75K-99.999K flyers get CR1 (they probably consider this a plus)

UA/CO flyers >150K get more CR1s than before (If they can use all of them then likely to consider as a plus)

CO flyers now get CR1s -- assume they will consider that a plus

CR1 earning is back to YTD not quarterly approach -- seasonal flyers will probably consider that a plus

So the problem group is UA 100K-124.999, 125K-149.999K which will get 4 or 2 less CR1s respectively

This donut group (of which I belong) has not done as well but others have gain benefits in this realignment. Not what i would call a total disaster (end of the world).

Also for those that keep talking about a total CO takeover. Seems like the plan coming forward (CR1s, SWU on w or higher fares, ... ) has mostly an UA feel. The benies at 75K seems to be approach to keep the CO Plats happier. Pretty much what I would expect in a merger, a little of this, a little of that, some individual changes but overall a much more MP feel.
