Given that, what reason on earth would UA - still in bankruptcy last I checked - join the race to the bottom

If I can't upgrade and I'm bored with UA's dismal 744s in Y, I'll often take SQ's nonstop in their E+ and a couple temazapam. Also a premium involved, but again, a superior product.

You're a 1K - you would seem to qualify to play this game. Is this really surprising?

Yea, but "I" need to pay for the ticket And of course want to stick with UA for the miles and to get some use of my SWU's..... And of course I love having Grandma serving me champagne
