Does the new UA management really think that I and others will pay thousands of dollars for future flights on UA or Copa for another half million miles solely to get a fee waiver and an extra 25% bonus miles?

As I and others have said, there is no longer an incentive to stay with UA.

If UA happens to be convenient to where I am traveling, so be it, I will fly with them and they will get my money.

Where I live there are other carriers that have non stop flights to where I fly most often while UA requires that I take a connecting flight and sometimes pay more for a flight to the same destination.

No, it simply is not worth the inconvenience to remain loyal to UA since the new management has made it clear that they have no regard for our ongoing loyalty.

I predict that I and many other million-milers will never achieve two million miles on UA unless the new UA management is either fired for incompetence or rescinds the discriminatory demotions made to the former million-mile program.

I disagree, there's far more incentive now. Very happy with the changes!
