Thanks UA!

I think the SWU program is the best among the big three. On DL, you can only use them on high price fares. On AA, the C seats aren't lie flat. I have had really good luck with the UGs (miles and SWU) on UA. 19 of 20 last year and 22 of 24 this year on TPAC.

Agree with you 100%!

My SWU success rate for 2010 has been 100% for TATL and TPAC flights: 10 of 10 (have 1 more TPAC, so we'll see if I will stay at 100% or not, but it's still not bad). So to me, the SWUs are far from worthless.

For UDU, I have been in E+ exactly 2 times this year, out of ~30 flights.

I do love the concept of having less 1K members to compete for my upgrade

I've said it before, and I will say it again: all malcontents, UA bashers, and whiners of all sort, can LEAVE NOW. Thank you.
