It may take a while for the full impact to be felt, but exactly who is going to fill all those TATL/TPAC seats? An awful lot of UA elites paid higher fares and put up with a already crap product and service in order to maintain status. Take away the 1K perks and why would anyone fly UA TATL/TPAC when most of the competition provides a much better experience at the same or even lower price?
