Yes, it's getting harder to score CPUs. UA is training pax to buy cheap F.
Interesting thread. For me I've been buying F more than ever because of the multiplier that applies to PQM and my need to get PQD.

If (when) you get to a moment of reflection on this, however, you realize that if you really aren't flying that much and you aren't using the GPU/CPU then what are you shooting for.

The FT community is pretty type A so maybe this pricing strategy works with us - I am not sure UA won't lose more and more of us over time and then it's a race to the bottom to sell the seats up front.
