United will do exactly the same thing as soon as the JEFF9000 downloads and processes Delta's latest WWW updates. Obviously, United's JEFF unit hasn't been upgraded in decades, so it generally takes a few months for it to process Delta's latest updates. (Of course it will also have to determine that the change is not beneficial to customers first, so that might add a few extra weeks.)
