THANK YOU for posting that! Very interesting reading.

Seems like one sentence in Chris Bowers' affidavit is key: "Revenue generated by customer programs exceeds the operational and administrative cost to implement and maintain them."

I also found it interesting that he said United "simply can not compete successfully against other major airlines unless they are able to maintain the integrity of Mileage Plus."

Assuming that other airlines agree with above statement, that says to me that customer programs like AAdvantage and Sky Miles will be around for a long time, no?

Thanks again for posting the links.
