Thanks for the replies. I am sure that UAL will sell the seats to anyone and if they are non-status will know that they will have to give these seats in E+ away for free, w/o paying the $25. Essentially, the statement that these seats are reserved for 1P,1K, UGS unless paid for is not true and they know it. Anyone with reservations knowledge care to comment?
