The only thing I don't like about CR7's / E70's is no true meal service (snack boxes).... anyone out there know if the new E75's with 12 F seats will also come with better meal service? That would be nice, especially since I fly routes that these aircraft are intended to be used for.

Regarding the change to UA's award mileage accrual next year... all good by me. Currently at $0.31/BIS mile .... headed up to closer to $0.40 by year's end. I will have ~120,000PQM's this year yielding approximately 240,000 award miles. Assuming a similar year next year, that would be approximately $50,000 in spend, yielding 550,000 award miles. I know it makes sense for me, but I know a lot of people are negatively affected by this.
