I am at this point totally immune to UA's marketing because it's pretty much all just empty words. I fly UA because they're very good these days at getting me where I need to go, on time and efficiently.
It takes longer than you think. Not trying to defend the poor food but even with an unlimited budget, they wouldn't be able to flip a switch and make food "magically" better tomorrow. They need to build the infrastructure.
