I'm posting here specifically because I have not requalified yet this year.
Last year in total I flew something like 220k qualification miles, re-qualifying for 1K around April or May. This year, I've only flown about 35k on UA (vs. more than 65k on AA--bringing me to where I was about this time in total on UA last year) because of all the negative changes UA has been making.
And, I'm quite a happy AA flyer, expecting to hit EXP within the next two months.
I may requal as a 1K this year depending on how I feel around July. But, UA needs to take note that the cutback in same-day ticket changes, the new limitations on SWUs, the closing of the 1K rooms-- all of those factors and more are contributing to their loss of revenue from this once-totally-loyal flyer.
