TK is not the answer. You STILL HAVE TO requalify over at TK, 25,000 miles in one year or 37,500 miles in 2 years. With the latest (massive) devaluation at TK, most economy tickets earn only 25% to 50% of mileage, and that's for TK's own flights. Other airlines, a lot of fare classes don't earn anything at all.
UA K still earns 100%, which is a common fare class for long-haul mileage runs.
