I'm just glad I'm finding out in June so i can direct the remaining 2014 travel elsewhere; it'll be nice to say good bye to EWR.
I'm in complete agreement. I fly mostly leisure, so I feel that I have no incentive for loyalty to any airline, anymore. So long United, it was great until Jeff ruined it for us!

And this from whimike: "What is with the 75k mile cap?! So, as a 1K, if I buy a fare higher than $6,800 I am penalized? "
That bites big time!
