Agreed. UA is applying the Mr. Wimpy Strategy. As Mr. Wimpy used to say, "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today..."
The MM program is the sole remaining incentive for the jettisoned 1Ks to stick around and tolerate silver/gold status for the next 5-10 years, in exchange for MM status down the road.
If UA was smart, it would aggressively market a 3Y freeze on MM status requirements to get folks to stop worrying about future changes.
