Why would folks wait until March 3?

COdbaUA already has RETrOACTIVELY downgraded 1P by changing the rules in late September and denying folks that qualified for 1P prior to then the benefits of that status through Jan 2013

They are trying to run PMUA MMers and 1Ks and 1Ps away from the new United by choice as taking care of them is too much a hassle for CO management apparently

All PMUA elites should book away en masse now. Dont wait thinking suddenly CO will realize it's mistake and unleash a pot of Gold on March 3. The only pot arriving is a s-pot.

If you have a Gold spouse
Membership and like it - great! Gold works on other airlines too after all. Discover the alternatives.

And in parallel to all of this legal and PR challenges are good. We need more than 150k FT views, we need to put a more public face to the rescinding of lifetime benefits and changing the rules generally retroactively.
