4) How to update retiree personal information
Click on "Your Benefits Resources (YBR)" under the "Benefits" banner on the "My Info" main page. You
will be taken to the Aon Hewitt page (be patient, it takes a moment to load). There you will see your health
care and billing information. At the top of that page you can click on "Your Profile" to select and view your
"Personal Information". Some changes can be made on that page, but other changes (such as name changes)
will require a call to the Employee Service Center. 877-825-3729.
5) myUAdiscount tickets and Mileage Plus upgrades
One of the best features of using myUAdiscount tickets (besides the confirmed seats, 2 free bags, and 20%
discount) is accruing Mileage Plus miles (if you sign up for a MP account). Once you accumulate enough
miles, you may be eligible for free upgrades to economy-Plus or a premium cabin. Some pass riders have not
been able to use their miles to upgrade on myUAdiscount tickets. This might be because the fare they
purchased does not allow it.
If the computer won’t let you upgrade, call United reservations and ask why. The ETC is currently working
to consolidate the purchasing of myUAdiscount tickets and using MP miles to upgrade into a single process;
stay tuned.

Airbus "grows" A380 to boost sales
TOULOUSE, France - In what is seen in some quarters as a desperate measure to
create sales (none were sold in 2014) Airbus says that it has increased the
standard number of seats in its A380 brochure to 544. This is achieved by using
11 seats in each Economy row instead of the current 10. Airbus says that this can
be achieved while maintaining 18-inch-wide seats by better using the aircraft's
space, but it remains unclear how passengers will respond. The move comes as
Airbus steps up efforts to boost sales of the plane.
Mark Lapidus, CEO of Amedeo, a leasing company that ordered 20 aircraft and has a marketing partnership
with Airbus, has said that efficient formats of up to around 600 seats held a key to finding new customers.
Amedeo has yet to find a single customer for the aircraft it has on order.
“Perhaps some of the Toulouse senior management should take the middle seat out on a 12-hour sector,” said
a respected aviation expert. “I for one will not be trying it out!”
