At one time, IIRC, one could be a GS and 'only' a 1P - such as travel planners at large companies and the like.
Could be. I've heard that GS was only a 1P match long ago, with flyers having to actually earn 1K with EQM/S like everyone else, but that predates my membership. It does often refer to me as 1K in internal systems, though, so your theory may be correct. (Though the UDU line at the bottom of my itineraries says that I'm "a valued MileagePlus Global Services member", so its inconsistent.)
