Um, no. I don't give 2 about CR1s. I care about the fact that UA has, after 5.25 (hundred thousand) BIS miles in 6 years, decided to up the ante on me...by 20%.
I'm one of those poor souls that requals on EQS every year. All for business, and mostly on Express. I've suffered plenty enough.
Now UA is telling me the following year I need to fly 20% more just to get to where I have gotten in the past? Um...something is wrong with that.
I've been super loyal to UA for over 6 years...and now...this cr@p. I'm not feeling it.

And sorry you think we're whining. But if we remained silent, don't you think UA would try to take it a step further? I know they have in the past...and most likely will again in the future.
