Current CPU rates
But if ps/intl don't have CPU, where else do you go to get CPU of 75%? Or are you including gpu/Rpu/rdm in that 75%?
I fly out of sfo but rarely fly these days (2P-lite but somehow with over 600K bis miles lifetime)...

Technically I think I'm either 8 or 9 of 9 on CPU eligible flights this year, but I subsequently got downgraded on one of those (LAX-SFO, with downgrade compensation).

Current CPU rates
My rate is appallingly low compared with prior years. In fact, this 1K fails more than not. I think I'm getting dinged due to our negotiated firm fares (even if they book into higher classes, like M). As I posted before, I've experienced a drought of even instant upgrades. Our negotiated rate is certainly not spectacular (in some cares, I could book cheaper myself at .bomb). But it's really the only thing I can attribute this to. Strongly considering other carriers (but being CLE based, UA still has the greatest options).

Batting 100% on a Thursday night flight from LAX -> IAH as a Platinum. I may be taking the slightly later flights, though.
Batting 0% on a Monday morning flight out of IAH, though.
I noticed my normal route through LAX is gone in the next three weeks, though, and I'll have to go through SFO. Expecting my CPU rate to go down tremendously with that

Baez- maybe, but I can't find any other reason for my abysmal performance. I fly primarily out of CLE, so it's not like my competition is lots of GS (at least, not this year).

The last flight out of DEN to SFO each night has lately been an international 757 with lie flat BF. And I've never missed it, regardless the day of the week. Bizarre.
Otherwise, I am below 50%.
As a lowly AA gold on US, I'm 1 for 2. As a lowly Skyteam Elite on AF, on DL flights I'm 1 for 2 this year.
So I'm quite happy to not be a 1K next year, and will live with being a plat or EXP on AA.

I'm a 1k at close to 100%. I don't have city pairs (I don't keep records that long / detailed). Most of my flights have two segments that include DCA, and I tend to buy fares 1.5 to 2 months out, so they can be relatively cheap.
