I know I have been 1K many times on UA since the program began and they always have treated 1K flyers much different then they did at the beginning of the 1K program. I have a hard time believing that UA did that just because they wanted to be nice to me. I am sure I was valued for the business I brought them and do to this day on a consistent basis. As our economy tanks, as an airline I think I would rather go after high revenue flyers then Ma/Pa Kettle flyers that CO apologists seem to say are what is really valuable to CO. I do not think too many Ma/Pa Kettles are going to be flying if they cannot even afford their mortgages, gas or food. I do not see how CO apologists would even understand the 1K program since for many of them reaching 75, 000 miles a year was the big deal to make them DYKWIA in CO land!
