Bingo! United has claimed that Guam had one of their largest (I guess per capita) elite loads than other bases. Because you have to travel far, and must travel to get somewhere, people use United a lot. That may have changed when Delta came in and cannibalized the United customer base after this flight went to a domestic 777.
