(5) What is most important to you in a FFP? Good award redemption
(6) Which routes do you fly most often? 80% US Domestic and at least 1 trip EWR to Europe
(7) Preferred Airlines UA
(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure? (Can you choose your airlines, class of service?) Always for pleasure. Yes I choose both airline and class of service.

if you fly 36k miles a year in F mostly on UA ... why do you not have status? What am I missing here. From your travel pattern you should stick with UA with 200% PQM on premium fares and miles per dollar. If somehow you just get incredibly cheap A fares then perhaps consider LH if you are looking for domestic UA redemption.
