Message to UA? I don't for a minute think anyone is sending a message to UA. I want to fly where I get the best elite treatment. It is UA that is sending a message to me, which is elite benefits are shrinking. Basically that in the last x period of time I cannot think of one elite benefit that has improved. Some have gotten worse, and if you wonder how bad it will get just go spend time on the CO board. No reason to believe it will be any different than how CO operates, which I have always thought was average/hokey.
