I for one am happy with the changes.... fewer 1Ks to compete with, no change in CR1 as I fly at least 150k.
Thanks UA!
I think the SWU program is the best among the big three. On DL, you can only use them on high price fares. On AA, the C seats aren't lie flat. I have had really good luck with the UGs (miles and SWU) on UA. 19 of 20 last year and 22 of 24 this year on TPAC.
