If UA has the best price and routing, you are a fool not to take it.

Boycotts never work so long as there is demand for a product that is offered at a competitive price.
I got caught up in B6's Valentine's Day disaster in 2007. I haven't flown them since, literally not a single flight, whether for work or personal. Obviously it'll be harder with United, but given I have essentially unlimited budget as long as I keep it reasonable (no F, but I do get J), I'll definitely keep my United flying to a minimum moving forward.
