UA was the ONLY airline I flew. I'm self funded , so that choice is mine.
Now that CO runs the show my spend is ZERO. I'm based where there's competition, and if I don't like a firm's CFO telling me they'd prefer I go elsewhere I can AND WILL do that.
I've earned ExPlat on AA thru 2014, I've bought 4 RT international C class tix, and 2 RT international F class. Without QUESTION that spend would have been on UA prior to the takeover - oops, "merger".
The HouCrew will reap what is sown. Why does that seem so hard for them and others to figure out????
