Here's what I don't understand about the changes. First, why is UA deliberately creating uncertainty around both MP and E+? Do they not know that uncertainty creates problems, problems with planning and loyalty?

Second, why the drive to significantly devalue both benefits and miles? The CR1 is just a bone to throw to the bold. New rates for RCC already telegraph a 18% devaluation in miles, just wait until the new award charts are released? My lifetime MM benefits have been pulled back a notch thanks to the new 0P and why again should I continue to shove my money towards an ungrateful behemouth?

Sure, where's the grass greener? Well, if you take out UX, domestic mainline coverage isn't even close to WN or other domestic carriers. I'm a domestic 1K the past 5 years that looks to trade in some international miles every few years. With mile redemtion inflation inevitable, there is some greener grass out there when it comes to domestic mainline flying and UG's. I likely bet on the wrong horse wrt MM bene's. But, you know, it used to be loyalty was appreciated and recognized.
