My comment was referring to MayorMcKnife's post stating that corporate contracts get a certain number of GS nominations, and that 1K nominations can be requested as well. He clearly differentiated GS and 1K nominations. I was also referring to pmax's post about asking for a GS nomination, and then a 1K nomination. Again, he clearly differentiated a GS nomination from a 1K nomination, so I don't think people on this thread are confusing the two. There are no 1K nominations.
Let me clear the air on my post and experience. My company gets GS nominations, but I'm not high enough on the food chain to get one yet. So I requested an early 1K bump earlier this year to our UA rep based on UA EQM expectations. I was declined due to his disbelief that I would make it based on my 2007 EQMs. (OT - I was mixed DL/US/UA last year and I will make 1K in the next few weeks - yeah, take that UA, I flew you all year!). The UA rep acted as if he contemplated the 1K bump. So I concluded it was a possibility and suggested the OP ask. But maybe it wasn't possible and the UA rep didn't want to admit it.
