I got scared when I lost all the perspective on my browser.....holy HUGE picture batman!!!

DLSize, Perhaps you can find a smaller photo?!

I am worried as some of my benefits seem to be in question. With $mi$ek in charge, I feel as though my UDU percentage will go down with upgrades being sold for "tens of dollars"..

I'm kindof scared of this merger, and while I see some benefits, I also fear that we will loose some of our current benefits. I'm very concerned about award fees for instance.

Currently, Platinums (75K fliers) pay $0 to change/redeposit an award ticket. Golds pay $25 and Silvers pay $50.

At United, 75K fliers (Premier Exec), Gold fliers (Premier Exec) and Silver fliers (Premier) all have to pay $150! The only ones exempt are 100K (1K) members.

So are our award ticket fees going to shoot up next year?

I hope they don't bumble as badly as Delta did in this area. At the start of the 2009 program, they took away the free Platinum redeposit benefit in both SM and WP. There was a tsunami of protest. So they soon granted 2 freebies, and the rest at $50 each. Then they reinstated the benefit for Platinum in the summer of 2010. The net effect of removing the benefit in the first place just to reinstate it was making it look as if a bunch of chimps were running the show.
