Roughly exact same thread on UA regarding price increase to non-BE rather than cheaper BE. DL has close to the same back when it introduced its version a couple of years ago.

Air ticket prices did not drop when carriers started charging for checked luggage, onboard meals in Y and seat selection. Same whinging back then. It's largely all still here.
