I guess the grass is greener on the other side of the fence.

For me all my upgrades clear on international flights and really once i have E+ exit row do i really care when i miss an upgrade to domestic business class? NOT!
UA still hands out tons of certs when they screw up and they do all the time.
About the only think I am getting upset about is how i dont get the "priority" boarding as a 1k that i was used to...

Today boarding is a cattle call with everyone who has a credit card.
Sorry, but when I read your post, right next to it was a ubiquitous "You're In" credit card advert... Almost as if they planned it that way
