But what they don't realize is that if they devalue the programs, a lot of people will just stay at home and/or do business by phone. I fly a lot but only because with UGs and Awards I can sit in the front of plane at a reasonable price. If I had to the pay the published fares, I would sit in the back but cut my travel by probably 75%.
