I wouldn't put any water in that glass...this is speculation from one poster who is not an insider, with no evidence to back it up. Until I see some evidence the poster knows what they're talking about, I just dont see anything bad happening, especially as the airline in question did a double EQM promo to stop the poaching of its elite customers by United....to turn around and screw those same customers it worked so hard to retain, would result in a violent response that would rival what USAir suffered when it tried to bamboozle its customers a few years ago.

Now, a merger announcement in that timeframe...that would be different
