Couldn't agree more. The problem is trying to figure out, who, if anyone, will follow next. I would be inclined to switch to UA but I'm not convinced that they won't do the same thing just like the 500 mile minimum. As has been previously mentioned I'm ok with the fee for the 1st checked bag it's everything else (especially the bonus mile elimination) that really bothers me. I guess I'll have to wait and see who follows and switch at the end of the year.

I couldn't be more disappointed since I'm someone, like BostonMark, who has been somewhat of a defender of US.
