In 2015 UA has announced they are moving to a solely spend based program - I thought it was an interesting development.
The way I read it you still qualify exactly the same way for status (miles or segments) but the non-status award miles shift to this revenue based scheme. Or am I mistaken?

I find it hard to imagine how shifting the status level qualification could work without applying it alliance-wide.
