DCA/LGA/BOS already depart from B, MSP is actually good news, that is usually from the depths of C in my experience. Can't speak about the others.

To participate in this bonus offer, you must be registered within seven days of your flight.
Does this guarantee include the numerous flights they cancel due to "mechanical problems" when they don't have enough pax to fill the planes?

I've been getting newspapers on these flights (off and on) for some time and I don't think this is any change to the meal policy.

This is news?
All in all, a big huge yawn. Sorry UAL, gotta do better than this!
