These threads are always fascinating. The basic premise for most of us, myself included, is that "UA should set up their systems so as to maximize my ability to fly up front for as little cost as possible." We all comment on threads, whether it's fares, upgrades, cabin layouts, or anything else, with that filter switched on. And on occasion, we'll grudgingly concede that maybe UA is actually a business that needs to function, or that perhaps we are not actually the ideal UA customer that we believe ourselves to be. And then a few weeks later, another such thread emerges and we start again.
