Definitely agreed... BOS has always been one of UA's cash cows out of CLE. It's difficult to find a sub-$500 ticket, even advance purchase, on that route. By UA's current definition of "profitable routes", being forced to charge market rates will almost certainly destine BOS for the scrap bin.

Can't wait to see what "more profitable" route gets added elsewhere in exchange!
