CO has introduced a new benefit, regional upgrade for 2011. the certificates are valid for one year. so as they are earned when one crosses the 75K and then 100K, one can get 4 RU certificates.

Those will be used in probably 2012 when the CO and UA fleet merged.
It is all good and great.. but.

but UA 1k get 12 RU certificates for 100K of flying comparing to 100k flying of CO elites who are getting only 4 RU. Those certs will be valid on all CO/UA fleet as they are merging. so. we are going to get short-changed completely, is my reasoning corrected?
