Can someone post example pricing under the old and new systems? For a domestic lower 48 flight, a Hawaii flight, and an international longhaul flight.

Also can someone explain the changes in handling?
From what I gather the old way was: drop off at checkin desk, *insert magic here*, loaded in cargo bay, *insert magic here*, appears at baggage claim.
And the new way is: drop off at cargo facility, *insert magic here involving climate controlled something*, loaded in cargo bay, *insert magic here*, pick up at cargo facility.
I'd really like to know more about the specific handling of checked pets.

The UA site isn't very clear about the old way and all I see on FB is "whaa whaa military members whaa whaa thousands of dollars whaa whaa love their pets whaa whaa United is the devil whaa whaa" and it's a distraction from the actual change in procedures and fees.
