This was creating a problem with higher elites, who tend to book closer in. If they were not upgraded, they were getting middle E+ seats. According to him, it was one of the biggest complaints of Gold and 1K flyers.
UA accounts reps can spin it all they want but in the end, it doesn't really matter who the intended target was. The damage is done. And with all the issues that have affected every elite level, it's not a stretch for any level elite to feel that that Raimey's poorly chosen, indeed stupid, remarks were directed at them.
