Amen!

Enjoyed the elite treatment at UA but prefer VX. Have been using them for the better part of 2012 and expect to continue doing so for the rest of this year too.

Although their new frequent flyer program slated to be launch soon has me concerned a bit about the ability to buy last minute MCS and even FC, I'll hang in there. Based on my flight history today, I should be close to Gold level when the Program rolls out so it's. Win-win for me with VX for the 2012-2013 season.

Have always been of the mind set to pay for the better service and not expect it for free with upgrades. UA cheapened the experience of being in Biz or even First and I got tired of them and those that complained that they weren't upgraded for free!
