I am pretty observant, if you ever watch E+ cabin fill up, there are lots of people with 2/3/4 zones boarding which tells me they bought E+ or got placed there by a GA. I could see them lowering the price point slightly to attract a larger crowd, I would think that they know they can make money, they will push the product harder.
This line of reasoning is why you will see 1k's complaining come Q2 when UA realizes it can sell those First seats and make extra revenue. I don't see YBM upgrades mattering much, although I have bought 1 M-Fare this year.
