1K to Silver, which I get from being a Marriott Plat.
Had 2 flights on UA in 2014, both of which cancelled.
I moved my flying to AA and WN due to the poor experiences on UA in 2012-2013
Mostly fly from STL, which is all RJ on UA, except 1 SFO flight.
AA is all mostly mainline, and the RJ's have F. WN is all 737 obviously.
Upgrade rated on UA had dropped significantly as a 1K. As an EXP, it is all over 90%.
If you don't get upgraded, AA treats you better in coach.
GPU's much better on AA vs UA.
Customer service on UA was ok, but very good on AA.
PQD did not affect me. I love the One World first class lounge access as an Emerald.
UA seemed to think that E-certs could make up for poor performance. I would rather get there on time.
2015 I will focus on AA/WN again. I may have some work travel where I have to fly UA, and that is fine.
