Your abbreviated analysis does not properly analyze operations at UA.

Why is it that you find it necessary to only fly on only one carrier? I fly who is best for me on a given route and choose based on that route. I do not take a default UA centric view as I did in the past. The foreign competition is generally so much better than UA, I can't imagine why you would fly UA, particularly internationally--regardless of the class of service, and particularly in economy.

UA's on-time record is not particularly good. In-flight service is minimal, at best. The United Clubs are poor quality, over-stuffed with credit card holders, and offer few amenities (e.g., almost no food, default liquor that is generally atrocious, and paid liquor that is ridiculously expensive--even for an airport).

The prices on United are, generally, higher than the competition.

And United continues to decline--not improve.
