This is definitely bittersweet. I have enjoyed flying BR and LH quite a bit, but those tickets haven't been bought thru UA. I guess I'll have to buy a few more thru UA to ensure I make 1K.
On the plus maybe it will cause a hefty reduction in 1K and upgrades will be easier to get.....I have used up my RPU for the past 3 years and even used most of my GPU (Mostly for domestic travel)
I really really don't like the RPU reduction, but if CPU are easier it shouldn't be so bad on the days I have to buy econ tix.
