Good luck trying to get UA to sell you 1/10th of an SFO/ORD round trip.

It would certainly make it a lot more difficult to plan, but in terms of worth to United, it would be a lot more transparent.
I brought that topic up about 10 pages ago but it was quickly deemed "dead on arrival" and a "very bad idea".
That's because you have no plan for incorporating elite qualification on *A non-UA/non-CO carriers.
Both Mike and I mentioned that EQMs could be based on fare class, which would solve the issue of flying non COUA carriers that are partners, and you soundly rejected that idea, (though I mentioned that there would be protests). Hence your idea is DOA and very bad. You appear to have undisclosed issues with *A. The rest of us prefer to leverage COUA's partnerships with other carriers to get us to places COUA will never be able to. As someone who spends about $25K per year on *A flights, COUA and otherwise, I'd be happy to make 1K that way.

Untrue. I'd say by 500 posts, UA partially got the message, and added a graceful transition to the new CR-1 policy.
