Yes, I question readiness....part of my speculation as to a possible delay or 11th hour changes.

bolding above mine....correct, no visible action....what may be taking place "behind the scenes" with possible 11th hour changes certainly would not be made "visible".

I got my 1K booklet about a month ago. So what? Last year was a fiasco of getting the booklets and membership cards getting delivered in a timely fashion which upset many UA MP members. So UA learned from that and sped up the delivery this time around. I am glad they learned. There are many details left out of the booklet and UA refers the members to look at the website for more complete details. Just for example, in the booklet there is no mention about the 2013 policy for upgrading a companion, nor any reference to upgrade priority. Are these among many details still being deliberated? What about the long-promised "more transparency" for the upgrade process? There is nothing in the booklet. Will that be announced on the UA website whenever the FINAL 2013 MP program details are announced? Is this transparency policy still being debated behind the scenes?
And remember, UA can change any aspect of MP at any time!

yes before 2012 started they announced a delay but we are ready in 2013 and no announcements on a delay
yes, we are already in 2013 with a week to go before Feb 1...and no announcements on a delay....and also no final announcement on the 2013 program, which is a "fact" also. Thanks for offering your opinions, and I hope you are correct.
