The Points' Guy Interview with UA CCO and COO
https://thepointsguy.com/news/how-un...th-ua-leaders/
Hot off the press. Well, posted about an hour ago. Interesting read, IMHO. |
Yes, very interesting comments about premium economy and IAD.

Oh, OK:
We will have some announcements probably in the next 60 days on how [premium economy] integrates into the frequent-flyer program, which many of our flyers are most interested to hear. |

Oh, OK:
60 days is mid-November, after elites have flown all year to (re-)qualify. I really hope they don't devalue elite benefits for 2019, but.... |
TPG: United is shifting much connecting traffic to Dulles from Newark, but the Dulles midfield terminal is outdated and cramped.

*VERY* interesting comments about IAD. Thank goodness. A lot of IAD flyers have been asking the same question. |

The company has already started talking about rebanking the IAD operations.
That could also very easily be interpreted as the investments described. |
Look out here it comes
Worst case/best case FFP changes from Premium Economy have my ears fully perked up. As a decade long 1K, Premium Economy could answer a lot of my disdain for the UG lottery with GPUs. |
I'm concerned that GPUs will only be from Y to PE and no longer from Y to C. That's how I read the tea leaves. I

Big yawning gap in the Southeast that UA is going to paper over at IAD? Good luck with that |
