JetBlue had an interesting way of announcing some negative changes today. They didn't announce the changes to customers, but rather to investors, explaining how they "plan to drive shareholder returns through differentiated products and service."

There are two significant changes:
The first change is that JetBlue will begin offering a fare class intended for "customers who do not plan to check a bag," starting in the first half of 2015. That's a nice way of saying that they'll starting charging for the first checked bag on their lowest fares:

United MileagePlus is one of the loyalty programs which has made the most tweaks over the past couple of years. They are keeping true to that pattern today, with further "enhancements" to the 2015 MileagePlus program that will negatively impact many of their Premier members. These changes are in addition to United announcing that MileagePlus will go revenue based in 2015, literally copying Delta's every aspect of Delta's SkyMiles program.
So what further changes have just been announced?
UA Insider announced on FlyerTalk this morning that in addition to updates to the 2015 MileagePlus program, Copa Airlines will be launching their own loyalty program in July 2015.
