Send your thank you notes to DOJ.
The accountants spend all their time trying to figure out how to produce another dime of profit and then the marketing department gets to "spin" it as a customer benefit. Every company does this.

I can only guess that in order to be SVP of marketing or CEO you have to have lost all of your common sense.

If United were to say - "in order to remain competitive and invest more in our hard product and customer support we have to find expense in other places like this", people would probably understand. Oscar - please fire whomever is spinning this stuff for you...
