First, let me say that I would like to see what people on this thread would do as UAL management or employees facing bankruptcy, job loss, etc. With unions, Federal government work rules, etc., running an airline with everyone cutting prices is a very difficult business. And should the people on the phones be nicer? Of course. But after thousands of screeching phone calls, they get sick of it. Not an excuse, mind you, but try walking a mile in their shoes.</font>
You're right; it's not an excuse.

In sports, there is a term. "Suck it up." Stop whining about it! </font>
As opposed to all the ATSB, SFH, etc. whining from UA?

Second, put yourself in UAL's shoes ... But where UAL actually wants paying business passengers (and are relying on some to keep them afloat), the last thing they want to hear is a $250 ticket passenger whining about their mistreatment. Switch airlines. Get a life. But don't expect an airline to leap for joy because you demand a $3,000 ticket for $250. </font>
Then they shouldn't offer it at that price...but wait, isn't that the rate set by the market?
By your reasoning, it seems UA should be the one to suck it up in the face of reality.

I am so sick of the whining on this forum by cheap ticket flyers expecting to be treated like royalty because they buy dirt cheap tickets and TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE TERRIBLE SITUATION FACING THE AIRLINES. These flyerts are predators that don't really care if the airlines go bankrupt as long as they get your upgrades for virtually nothing.</font>
You're annoyed because people are complaining when UA isn't holding up its end of a voluntary contract? It's probably a wonderful thing you're not in the judiciary, then.
