This is not to say that FAs couldn't also be provided with UC Infinite card applications and/or have an add to their app to get their card sales bounty.

Anecdotal and anecdotal only but supportive of David's basic thesis. UA seems to be on a downward spiral here at BOS. Among a reasonable (~50) based of friends and colleagues who were largely United loyalists, and with SFO nonstops gone and down from 12 to 2-3 EWR for connections, there seems to be movement to JetBlue for the CA non stops, with reports of excellent soft-product service in Mint, and t those who have to connect, movement to AA again with reports of vastly superior Flagship service soft product between JFK and the west coast. Whether this is an aberration or the start of a trend who knows, but it seems to speak to the existence of leisure travelers who are willing to pay for premium service and are willing to go across airline boundaries they haven't before
