Well, it seems like the MMiler Class Action has inspired not only the Premiers to file for benefits that were promised yet taken away, a few Premier Gold and 1Ks now filed.
This will be interesting to say the least...all in the same court as well. I wonder if the judge will put them altogether as one? Would that happen? What a mess for UA - seems like the lawyers are making some bank.
The class action was filed as a direct result of changes to the MileagePlus Program AFTER the merger.
