No, I don't trust them, but why would I act on speculation? I don't think there's a reason to trust any airline more.
Why even bother with frequent flyer programs, if that's the approach? Better off going strictly transactional, in that case.
Sounds to me like you've just got a bone to pick with UA. If that's the case, why even start this thread?
