I would say the regulars fly with a 40% discount off retail.
Yes, I think I mentioned that upthread.

It's a sad comment. Just reaffirms that UA basically counts on captives, whether they be hub-captives or corporate-captives, to fill the premium cabins. They don't even pretend to compete for the full fare traffic.
