I think this is TERRIBLE news for 1K's! In order to compete with American's commitment to improve all economy seats means that UA will shift more of its resources from perks, services and upgrades for VFF to system-wide improvements, like more space for all economy seats. I was thinking that UA's perks and service for 1K's was marginal at best, but now that they will have to compete with American there's little hope of them improving our benefits...
