1) Did the status you earned from 2013 for 2014 change from 2014 to 2015? (may indicate trends)

1K for 14+ years. No change this year

(2) UA best airline for USA & Asia routings for my work + leisure travel.
1k status helps in award bookings & some GPU/RPU/CPU situations [although lower probability than 3 years ago, still decent if can plan travel ahead & avoid peak flight times].
Irrops rebooking assistance also useful, but nowhere as good as 5+ years ago, and what GS status now provides.

(3) 2014 1K; 2015 1K.
Crossed 100k pqm mid-Feb, and plan 150k pqm by Feb 28 before mileage deval using several MR trips [with flexible work schedule] from LAX-BAH, EWR-HKG, on top of 2 biz trips to TPE.
Expect 2016 PQM & PQD to ratchet up ; my goal is unclear, depends if UA improves soft product & GPU/RPU certainty
