I was wondering the same thing...this is the problem with forums such as this. While they can be a source of great, insider, reliable information, they can just as easily supply fact-less info, and just plain rumors, which is what this "big announcement" smelled like from the beginning...

Quoting DLKAPA (Reply 3): 200 replies and thousands of server queries of wasted bandwidth.
The only thing about UA that was even released today was Tilton's year-end compensation. N1120A, I apologize for the UA bash in the 200+ thread, but I just don't see what UA is getting at with all these products. I feel UA needs to stick to one product and do it better than anyone else. 'Nuff said, flame/respond away.

The thing is, different markets have different demands. Things like p.s. have worked for them on LAX/SFO-JFK, but outside of perhaps IAD and an even a slimmer chance at BOS, full 3 class service just isn't going to work. I have heard from UA people that Ted has done well for them, but I am still incredibly skeptical about the costs involved in that. The explus concept actually helps them keep the product steady over a wider variety of flights, but I think that there are markets where explus is flying where mainline really should be doing the work (ORD-MSY is a very good example). Again, keeping one product is a good thing, but there are times where that just isn't the optimal thing to do in a competitive market.

Most if not all of the threads on this board announcing other announcements in the future have turned out to be fiction. They create a life of their own as seen by 200 replies. Can't we wait for a real announcement and then comment on it?
