I'm going to be Silver Elite on DL next year and my flown miles this year on DL are... 0.
Personally, I'd like to see more refinement in elite tiers for upgrade purposes. Virtual tiers every 25k or so.
But I expect the new UA will go to 100k/50k/25k with fare class as the next tiebreaker. Provides an incentive to pay for the more expensive fares. Definitely better for the airline to upgrade the 51k gold on the M fare over the 99k gold on the L.
