So those CO Plats who fly 100K EQMs should be annoyed that their status is not recognized at all on UA and puts them below 1Ps while CO at least keeps 1Ks above CO Golds.

Subject to availability, upgrades for OnePass Elite and Mileage Plus elite members traveling on Continental will begin to clear as early as 120 hours from departure, depending on your OnePass Elite or Mileage Plus status. Specifically, Continental Platinum Elite, United Global Services and United 1K will begin to clear up to 120 hours prior to departure. Continental Gold Elite and United Premier Executive will begin to clear up to 72 hours prior to departure. Continental Silver Elite and United Premier and will begin to clear up to 24 hours prior to departure.
By mid-2012, Elite members earning 100,000 EQMs or 120 EQPs or more will have upgrade priority over lower-earning members.
That can't come soon enough. Though I'm guessing i
t applies to 2011 earnings so it won't be as satisfying.
