Last year they had the elite flyer challenge thing, which gave me an incentive to keep flying UA. Is there any incentive now?
2 regional upgrades every 25K EQM and 2 SWUs every 50K EQM over 100K. So there is incentive at least to fly other Star carriers and credit OP/MP - but in their wisdom they got rid of any incentive to actually fly UA/CO metal.
