I know that AA has it. Don’t think DL does and AS spotty.

Reason I ask is it seems they start need to somehow improve the Domestic F experience for non-GS/1K passengers. Last flight I had to take a coach meal because the only choice left was the hamburger and I don’t eat beef. Now I’ll also get to board with with the masses since 1K and GS get to board first. It’s really making me want to fly anyone except UA on domestic F routes. As I get treated better as non-status then i do as a 2MM on UA.
If it is really important to you - whether it be pre-boarding or meal pre-order, why not just fly the other airlines? It just isn't important to UA.

Personally, my opinion is you got a nice perk of lifetime Plat at 2MM, I got lifetime 1K with over 3MM - but at the end of the day, they could care less about me if I stop flying - I love the nice perk - but I'm sure they want over $12K PQD fliers (which I still am) who like the flying experience as is.

You know why I dread flying Delta (I do, only First when I get a deal) - is a few people have pumped them up and for me it gave me high expectations, I don't get it - I've personally not found Delta any better or worse.....
