If you know of a better way to do it I'm sure you could be snapped up by any one of the firms around the world that specialise in this type of transaction

Get the basics right first, then optimise. Trying to merge while optimising on any large scale at the same time is a recipe for disaster. How do you know it wasn't thought of a year ago by the way? Do you have access to data that I don't? All I know about is the date is was announced to the public but yet you know enough to deem it reactive?

Actually I don't think we did see any of the leadership team calling its most loyal flyers anything. I did see a vast amount of people jumping to conclusions without a shred of evidence because it fit their agenda. It's quite clear from your tone that your mind is made up - regardless of what improvements are made - because you've decided you don't like the management team - I think we all get that.
I won't speak for others, and I hope I'm wrong, but I think the new UA got some of the basics wrong. If the foundation is faulty, no quick fix is going to make things better.

IMO, the basics they got right weren't implemented well anyway. That's easier to fix, or "optimize."
