The 120 EQS is more of a slap in the face because UA is telling me even though I spend more time and $ than some other 1Ks who fly 100k miles, I'm suddenly not as worthy.

I'm wondering if the segment is more of a ding on CO frequent fliers. Just a conjecture...not sure I have much to back that up.
