This post is just as laughable on this forum as it is on the UA forum.

So far in the post Mileage Plus/Smisek era I have LOST benefits from what was once the best FF program.

If E+ goes...what exactly are the differentiating factors? There are none.

In fact with AA, I will get 8eVIPs at 100k good on any fare, better than 6SWU good on some expensive fares with no sure thing upgrade/no refund and 2 CR's good to only some places. If I fail upgrade with either I end up in Y anyway so...without E+ for my soft landing...why would I put up with crap IFE and no WiFi on an airline without any legroom improvement?

No angst here, just looking for a better program. I guess I am leaving your "best upgrade benefits in the world" behind for you to enjoy for yourself. See ya on the dAArkside.

Also, it's quite amusing to see the COolaid crowd seeing this as more neutral or even improvement, as compared to MP folks whose program is being devalued and are steamed, and will soon show Simsek and Co how hard you will fight for loyal fliers outside of Houston.

You ain't in Texas any more big boy!
