As far as your decision to take or deny, that is all on you.
So United paid off a FIRST CLASS $$$$$ passenger for the commuting pilot instead of an economy class?.
As for listing for the jump in hopes of sliding into first without the ridiculous UAL fee, maybe UALPA should negotiate free upgrades to First class like Delta does.
Yep the decision is mine and I'll stand by it
