Do you suspect that United gives CPU preference to newly minted elites? The only CPU I cleared as a silver was on the EWR-FLL leg of a BOS-EWR-FLL flight last March. It was my first flight as a UA Silver. Monday flight from a major hub...I was shocked to get an upgrade. Thought maybe it had something to do with being a newly minted elite.
