In a previous job, I flew frequently and had UA and Alaska status. I haven't had status levels in a couple of years, but the new job will be traveling frequently (8-10 international, 10-15 domestic trips).

Priority services, lounge access, baggage allowance - the things that make travel more comfortable
I'm less concerned with upgrades and award redemption.

>50K, about 15-20 flights. On a rough estimate, I'm looking at about 150K miles this year.

Reply:
Domestic: Economy or Premium econ.
International: Business

4. Are you able to choose your airlines and/or class of service? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
Reply:
I'll be traveling mostly for work, some pleasure. I make the flight arrangements myself, so if the cost is similar, I have flexibility on airline. Service class is based on domestic/international.

Reply:
US domestic: PDX-SFO, PDX-AUS, PDX-LAS

7. Do you have status in any FFP? What is it? How miles do you have banked in a FFP, if any?
(e.g., AA Executive Platinum, UA 1K, LAN Comodoro)
Reply:
No status currently. Have about 200K miles banked on UA.

8. What are your preferred airlines, if any?
Reply:
Company prefers UA, but mostly prefers less expensive. Lately the UA fares have been nearly 2X the price of other fares, so I haven't been flying UA as much. I nearly exclusively fly *A airlines. Recent flights have been on Air Canada, which have been quite nice in 787 business class.
