I wonder if we might see a more consumer-oriented PassPlus product... pre-paying for a certain dollar-figure of travel and then a declining balance with a fare-basis discount or other perks.
Right now United's biggest issue, clearly, is cash flow, but I don't know if United would consider a lifetime AAirpass type of product.
Such a thing, in today's market (as depressed as it may be) would probably be worth in the neighborhood of $1m.
