The only thing surprising about this announcement is that today is Tuesday and not Friday The time was about right (16h51) however, as well as the spin on the news and what it means for the 'business' customers UA is trying to *win* back...

What another horrible situation for 1K/GSs...

As a proud user of 2 SWUs last year from FRA-JNB on the 380 (in order to use all 6 SWUs up on a single trip, to get rid of them...), I find this change obviously one that I do NOT like and one that only benefits LH.

I've had two of these requests denied in the past (HKG-MUC) and it took forever to get the SWUs re-credited to my account...now I'd have to do this on every single segment?

I wish this were a joke, but of course, it's the new UA, and as Jeffy Jeff says, he's going to make some changes that he thinks we'll like...

Looks like there are a lot of people here who like this change

Now, this is even more incentive to use up the SWUs on one trip!
