Why not go with UA? I mean non us FFP's in general pale in comparison to the US based airline programs. If you are flying in actual Y bucket you get a 50% eqm bonus right there. If you take 4 trips to the states in the Y bucket you are looking at around 100k eqm's right there, obviously enough for 1k. Then come the perks of SWU's and CR1's not to mention avoiding yq fees when booking award tickets and fee waiver.........

I would dump the Asiana program and credit to UA and fly them in your case. You will still be star gold and get all the star gold perks when flying Asiana around Asia.
