Maybe UA has a problem, but I guarantee you that everyone does too and if you change the subject matter, UA will sometimes be in your list (of those who do) and one or more of those you list will move to the list of those who don't.
Thank you.

We might be talking about two different things here. Someone argued that "foreigners" paying a higher price for domestic air travel was "de rigueur" globally - based on my experience, it is not.
