So can we keep our hopes high? Or it's just a matter of time?

But  they're supposed to stop the 10k/500 mile thing even for UA flights, right?
Love me or hate me. I still love you.

It seems that if the long-haul is UA, even if the short-haul partner is the same class, it prices like UA.

I'm still curious what kind of laws they've  implemented on changes. That feature is still broken.

Had an interesting experience, which may be common but was new for me. I was on the phone with United regarding a ticket, and they told me there was no 40K availability from BOS-TLV on UA equipment the day I was looking. I was looking at it on the screen, so I told her that there was, she dared me to book it. I was able to book it. She swears that there was nothing showing on her end.
I recommended that they consider getting internet out there in the call center.
Is this a normal experience?

even then, chances are that these award miles have already been voted in by a board and are here to stay..   :( it wouldn't help the program if he was fired.  maybe the airline..

What are you laughing about?
It happened to be funny for me seeing that FC to FRA is 110,000K, it sounded like DL, so I was looking with whom to laugh.
