I guess I'm one of those people who "misused" fare class because:

1) I used it to search for R availability, so that I could buy a pricier W ticket, and actually use my GPU's (some of them).

2) I get annoyed when I see high R availability, don't clear, and strongly suspect the upgrade was sold out under me for TOD's. But, wait, UA wants more transparency, so they are going to supply less information. Did I miss something here?

I control my own flight spending. Due to geographical location, I probably have to fly 50k miles on UA. Beyond that, it's up to me and I've been flying the additional 50k I fly each year on UA. But, make my upgrades and GPU's worthless, then I can look elsewhere. I'm not the only one saying this.

Is anyone listening?
