It's my view that UA is now evaluating how many current but 2010 unqualified 1K's to "invite" to keep their status despite not flying the 1K.
Any word on GS members (up down?). Not that I think I have a shot notwithstanding my 175+ EQM...
It may just be me, but I actually like managing my upgrade instruments. I fly IAD-SFO quite a bit and my upgrade chances are usually slim. Unfortunately this now makes it almost impossible for me as I see it unless I use miles and co-pay. At 30k miles for an upgrade for RT. I'd just assume use it on an award ticket and fly in the back of the bus. The alternative is VX which is looking very attractive for me on this transcon route.
