Absolutely agree - I happily flew Frontier for domestic business for many years, they got me where I needed to go (mostly east/west coast from Denver) and treated me like a king (no change fees, exit row every flight, free drinks, free bags, free tv, first one on the plane every time, plenty of free trips to Mexico) for a measly 25k mi/yr, whereas that level of flying makes me a peon among millions of other 2P members on United who would rarely get upgrades and have to deal with their old planes and surly employees.
