I just take exception with UA saying that this "will make the Mileage Plus program even better". Don't pee down my neck and tell me that it's raining.

Most all of my TATL and TPAC business class fares -- and especially most of them that are part of corporate contracts -- are far cheaper than $6k-12k. I loose too even on regular non-MR fares in business and even first class.
