All I can say, it will be interesting!
To the extent you can, please keep us posted and tell us about the session! I think you and Mrs. 1KPath hit on the two most likely motivations -- the third being UA's marketing or frequent flyer program trying to gauge the impact of the changes made. If the third, perhaps they've noticed a reduction in traffic from MMs or elite/business frequent flyers and want to rigorously validate what has been anecdotal input from customers (wishful thinking?).
