I guess I have more savvy clients than you do.

You hate UA, fair enough. Your comments clearly indicate your hatred. But your hatred colors your ability to fathom that everyone isn't like you and that everyone out there doesn't know you.
Perhaps you would like to point to the statement by me where I said that I "hate" UA?

For someone who purportedly hates UA, I was a pre-merger Million Miler and am still a 1K. Doesn't sound like someone who "hates" UA to me. But I know enough to not to pay for a "premium" cabin on UA on international flights.

I am a realist who does not make insupportable arguments to pump up an airline that has a first class cabin that is only competitive if you can upgrade to it.

I don't misrepresent the competition to try and make my point. You said, "AA and DL giving up on F offerings on their networks" when AA is not giving up international F at all as Delta did, and "AA (with just 14 planes offering it)" when they presently have 61.
