I agree. I have seen much lower pricing than that but did not want to be overly negative.
I am GS and did follow UAL since 1989 - both internally and externally. You would be amazed how forthcoming are UAL people when they recognize you as decades long GS customer.
The worst of it that these employees have nothing in common with current leadership (Mr. Kirby) - just as they survived Mr. Smisek, the gentleman from America West (Mr. Kirby) comes and teaches them that F/Y flyers need to be treated "firmly" - as in LC airline.This is the same person who attempted to replace December merit bonus for all employees by instituting internal lottery (Grand Cherokee as main prize) - only to be beaten down by open insurrection.
The time will show how does this strategy works. My bet is on DAL, not UAL, at least until F/Y customers are welcomed again and their money is treated with respect.
