I generally agree. It will be interesting to see since I have an SFO-IAD RT coming up and I'm trying to use my RPU. We'll see. I'm not expecting anything.

Frankly, I expect this year to be the "great culling" the change from 10k spend to 12k spend may be the end of me for 1k this year I'm afraid. On the other hand since I can buy the upgrades maybe I can just decide to fly who I want when I want. That's the rub for UA.
