Attn Waterskiiers new UAL travel program
New program means that everyone has to fax forms to the travel office by Dec 14th. If you miss the deadline you will not have any travel bennies on United for all of 2010. Details and forms are on tsaops.

Yea. Unless I'm missing something, it doesn't sound too bad now. Flat fee for an entire year of space avail. seats on mainline and UAX for partners, family, etc. Compared to the last set of benes, this is leaps and bounds ahead.
Buttttttt of course they give us less than 2 weeks to get the form in or else no benes AT ALL.

Actually looks like a pretty brilliant move on the part of united. If they had just taken our previous benefits and started charging for them, we would have been annoyed. So instead, they changed them to some ridiculous leg-based fees, left it for a few months, THEN changed it to this delta-esque system... Now we're happy to be paying "only" $75 a year to get what we were getting for free a year ago...
(The only positive new development is the "enrolled friend" thing)
At least they're going to stop charging me to commute to work...

Have you seen what Delta gave us at 9E... its beyond BS. We get next to nothing.

Not to mention the boarding priorities now.. Once our "3" international travel days are up, on ZED tickets we have to buy to travel on DL/NW overseas, we also lose our boarding seniority and board AFTER the buddy pass riders now..the last ones to get on after friends of employees get on....wow...

As a general rule, I refuse to use my Delta "benefits" or should I say "detriments".
I prefer to use other airlines to jumpseat and to send loved ones on.
Delta loves to create brand loyalty by making its subcontractors encourage their relatives to spend money for tickets on airlines other than Delta. Oh yeah, you bet I do.
