Is it an indication that UA might also think about changing its Reservation system?
Copa Airlines, one of the leading network carriers in Latin America, and a Star Alliance member, has selected Sabre Corporation (NASDAQ: SABR) as the airline's leading technology provider. Copa will leverage the breadth of Sabre's leading technology portfolio, including the SabreSonic Customer Sales & Service (CSS) reservations system, and airline retailing solutions, enabling the carrier to personalize its flight experience for travelers.

I think the fact that Copa is leaving Mileage Plus and creating their own program gave them freedom to make this move. I doubt Copa could get much attention from UA IT for anything they needed so moving to a commercial provider of services probably made sense.
