Perhaps SQ will also be nicer to us in other ways because of status, although my experience has been that SQ will be nicer to me as a nobody than UA will be to me as a 1K
Uhh, no. If you read through many of the threads here on FT, you'll find that SQ doesn't care about *Gs (not even their own). Heck, SQ*Ss on UA get more benefits than flying on SQ. They're that arrogant.
