Thanks for keeping us posted. Small things like these keep us (or at least me!) happy.

1. Bail on the mission to turn UA into a commoditized 2-cabin carrier and focus on returning United to a premium 3-cabin carrier, with international first class, that people actually want to fly on.

How about offering fleeing 1K's a chance to keep their status next year? I bailed on UA, or more like UA bailed on me. Stopped flying UA in April, moved my business elsewhere. I refuse to go back as a GM. You want my business back, extend 1K status as a show of good faith.

While you are at it, how about granting GS to us lowly 1K's who've stuck around and requalified?

Thank you and good to hear from you again, UA Insider.

I had tossed Mr. Munoz's first email (the one without the return email) immediately into the trash bin without reading it. However, I will be reading his open letter in the WSJ tomorrow.

For one, I am interested in seeing how and if UA plans to address the antagonistic attitude that the post-merger airline has shown toward its customers. That's just one thing that I will be looking for tomorrow, but I'll keep things pithy for now...

Thanks UA Insider. I'm already encouraged that Mr. Munoz has taken an interest in actually listening to what his customers have to say.

Sounds like an over-entitled elite that UA doesn't need.

Well, at least you received one. MP member for more than 30 years and no emails for a few years, Oh well (and yes my account is up to date).

I just wonder if he is placing 'a letter' in the papers, knowing that UA missed many loyal customers on his first email? Or could it be that loyal customers are a convenient cover/excuse/reason while really intending his message for the critical media and competitive customers???
