I have 2MM status with Delta which gives you Gold (I reached Plat however). Having the lifelong (of the program I assume) status I started exploring other Airlines (LH M&M AA)and liked what I saw. I reached PL with AA and thought the upgrade process is one of the best. With a Y fare you get autmatically Business on a 3 class aircraft and than upgrade to First! I also reached Sen with LH (which is not that difficult) and use them exclusively for transatlantic travel. Easy to upgrade with either miles or free vouchers (after 50000 status miles) Lots of status miles for C and F fares. I completely stopped using my United account. That said I guess I recommend to check out different carriers after reaching lifetime status with one of them.
