Also some regional 'home' airports seem to have marginally lower UA Metal PQD requirements but there really isn't enough accurate data points to be sure on that one.....Additionally, I started to believe the herd poison regarding SFO requiring a higher UA metal PQD but I can't see anything in the data to indicate that.
When I stated Total Spend.. I meant on UA metal. Sorry for not clarifying.
