I agree, it is surprising... and the funny thing is they are playing smoke and mirrors with people.

Dougie will continue to reduce industry wide capacity to force people on sub-par products.. it is his business plan.
What are the other options? Ex-Lax? Hand Cleanser? Magic Pen-Mark removal spray? "Doughnut log"? Pizza in a box? Oh, the latter would be reserved for Envoy flights - "You've enjoyed our pizza-in-a-box thanks to your purchase of an Envoy fare - now you can enjoy the same quality and taste at home for a fraction of the cost!"
And yes, I agree that things may not look so pretty a year from now. But since it continues to suit me well and I generally receive a good value, I'll be sticking around (but probably dual-crediting to UA just in case).
