I refuse to buy into the myth that all 70 people will refuse two free F tickets anywhere in the world and $2,500 cash, and the idea of the passengers colluding to drive up the price of VDB is just laughable.

And also making it expire in 2 years, not one year. I rarely fly UA. I wouldn't want a voucher good for a year. I will have to be dragged off and also get a broken nose and get some teeth knocked out. I would look like this before and this afterwards (no teeth).

I rarely add apps. I don't trust them. Back in the Palm Pilot days, I had a bunch of apps, like the Continental flight schedule but no more.

No, that is a sneaky ticket price increase. How about if you are IDB, you can have them go down the line and add your own money to the pot.
