This thread is like arguing about how to arrange the deck chairs on the Titanic as the ship goes down.

Personally, I don't see UA modifying MP in a beneficial way for its elites. If anything, I can see UA trumpeting the fixing of current broken things as positives (even if CO broke it in the first place when it took over UA), while looking at what happens at AA after it comes out of chapter 11. I think UA wants to get as close to the SkyPesos model as possible without having all its elites leave in the process.
