It's the flyers that have alternate (and not inconvenient) choices that need to spank UA by leaving.

Well - I've got the same "problem". I'm not going to leave a carrier with a near 100% upgrade success rate on lie-flat seats and it wouldn't bother me if they served no meal to/from the West Coast since I don't eat it anyway - Southwest doesn't, and people seem to survive.

Agreed - I now live in a DL hub and even so it's almost always much easier to get to the islands on UA.
