So now moving forward, I'm the owner of my company, the money is mine, not the absurd argument of OPM's that some people make, and I'll survive just fine in BG1. After 30 years of business and sales I place loyalty well ahead of one off clients regardless of what they are willing to pay.
So I'll sit (stand) in BG1, and couldn't care less whether I'm flying Paid F (since that term is so important to some of you), upgraded F, or simply sitting in Y. I will survive just fine, and thankful that I even have the ability to do so.
I'm like you, with one exception. Former 1K, never going to get there again. (Yea!!) Lifetime gold, so I'll be separated from most of the unwashed masses.

Where we differ is that when I fly up front, whether it is using miles or money, I better have guaranteed OH storage. I get it on all *A partners I fly, so why shouldn't I on UA?
