FWIW, I just received this email from Tom LaJoie @ eTripTrader:
Agreement Reached!
eTripTrader and United have reached agreement to provide Crew Companion access to all United pilots starting in early 2015. Per the agreement, United will pay for trading functionality and pilots will be able to directly purchase some premium features (to be detailed soon). We are working with United on a roll-out plan to allow for a smooth transition. Your existing subscription will continue unchanged until this transition occurs.
What About My Subscription?
You will continue to enjoy the benefits you've paid for until the early 2015 transition. At that time, if you have time remaining on your subscription, we'll calculate the exact value and allow you to purchase premium features with the account balance. If none are desired at the time, we'll retain the balance for later use or a refund will be granted in accordance with our No Risk Guarantee refund policy.
