Beaubo,
Great comments!!! I totally agree. While I am not a 1K (would love to have those SWU's!), I hope United never does again what they did last year when they reduced threshold levels for elite status. I worked hard for PremEx and believe that status means something. If I was 1K, I would have been very disappointed when the 84K rule was put in.
I hope United "sticks to its guns" on this one... and does not dilute the value of 1K even though I would benefit at a lower level.
