Seems wrong that the new United doesn't honor prior seat assignments in economy plus. Talked to reservations today and they told me that unless you are gold then they will move your seat assignments out of the Econ + area.
Doesn't seem right to me. They told us all along until the merger that you had the same "great benefits" but I guess this isn't one of them. Makes a premiere membership significantly less important. May have to go back to AA... sad!
