So UA now has a policy to make me avoid flying on them. Brilliant
I'm disappointed in the instant issuance of SWU's at the 100K threshold, certainly a good thing for first-time qualifiers but not so for those re-qualifiers who have been in the Jan-Jan 'groove' for so many years.
This of course can be worked-around by simply removing your MP# from the record, after clearing any upgrades, and then retroactively claiming mileage credit, near the end of December or in early January.
It was nice to see the extension of the quarterly earning of CR-1's extended through 2011 although this was really the only reasonable thing that could be done given the poorly thought-out change with no regard to first-time qualifiers in 2010. Giving 12 months notice is much more reasonable.
