Now it's an "experiment"? l don't recall seeing Polaris referred to as an "experiment" anywhere in UA's extensive marketing campaign.
I am not United. The changes UA proposed with merging Global First and Business First into Polaris is a bold endeavor, and so while 'experiment' is my term one could substitute it with several other terms.

A press release is normally issued first followed by some sort of Adverting and Public Relations campaign. Unfortunately I haven't been to Denver in a long time and I am not a member of the United Club because they suck. And yes United did a huge 'dog and pony show' to promote Polaris, I can't disagree. Nor can I disagree on the how slow the rollout of Polaris has been. But Bloody Mary cart and dropping 'hot bites' USA to Europe, which I gather are the main changes confirmed thus far, do not a promise-broken make.
