(1) What is your MP Status on UA right now?
1K

(2) What are your plans for earning certain MP Premier status for 2016 AND how will you achieve that status?

Expect I'll probably drop to Plat.

(3) What are your reasons for seeking or not seeking certain Premier Status in 2015 for 2016 with UA?

It's just not worth the effort any more. The main value of 1K to me was the ability to apply Globals on LH, but they've taken that away (I fly on YCA). I can't remember the last time I got a CPU. So the only difference between 1K and plat that I can see is better phone service during IRROPS -- but if I fly other carriers, I suspect I'll have less need for this.

Maybe 1K will happen again, but it just doesn't seem worth the energy and $ for striving, and for flying UA in the face of better flight options.
