If we were to poll for the changes perhaps a GS should carry say 3 times the weighting of say a 1K's concerns and perhaps 10 times the weighting of a Silver. If just poll on numbers with out looking at the level of the flyer I would imagine we will end up with a list of concerns that are weighted towards what a Silver wants as opposed to a GS simply because there are so many more Silvers in the system.
+1
Although there are are a lot more 1k's who are active on FT and post in the UA section. A poll on FT will likely be naturally weighted towards the higher elites I thhink. As a Premier Gold I mostly read what the more experienced folks are writing and participate less so as not to look too foolish.
The level of the elite flyer makes a big difference in what one likes or dislikes about the new United. I think the silvers got screwed the most by losing E+ at booking, since this is a huge perk for that level. As a lower level elite, I liked the idea of lower cost (not TOD's though) F upgrades (as long as they are offered to elites and not just GM's/kettles), since I almost never get CPU's. This year I will be 1K, so my level of "entitlement" will change, and I won't like this any more as I will have to pay for something I could have gotten for free.
