US being lame
AA has double EQM, UA has now double EQM and double EQS. Delta has rollover EQM program. US has nothing... grandslam doesnt count, please.
there is definitely no advantage to flying US in the fall whenever other, esp sister Star UA, offers such promotions. And UA offers more e500s, more CR1s, and more SWUs if you fly them more - while US has no such instrument-based incentive perks. (for those who argue US has complimentary upgrades - I ask you : "can you sponsor someone else's itinerary with an upgrade without using miles?" no. but on UA you can)
C'mon US, throw us a bone to come back and fly you!!
