UA -CO awards blocking question
UA is a well known serial starnet blocking offender. IF and when UA blocks CO award flights, will CO then reciprocate.
UA does not play well with others.

The whole point of UA starnet blocking was award availability to UA MP customers. I don't think it has anything to do with CO or any other *A FF members.

Do you ever search for answers before posting questions? A quick search for starnet blocking returns many relevant threads, including http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/conti...arnet+blocking that has it right in the title, as well as several others with the same information.

If anyone in :-:A has a reputation for not playing well with others, it would be LH and SQ.

UA would love other partners to use it's seats as it gets revenue from the other partners.
The only * partner that is restricts other * members from redeeming is SQ.

I am sure every decision every business makes is for the bottom-line. The question is probably more how does a business account satisfaction measures to the bottom-line.
