Personally I've been a happy AS MVPG flyer since the status match! Time will tell... for now i'll stick to AS/WN over UA
UA got several work round trips this year only because of convenience and multiple nonstop flight options over AS/WN in case customer meetings finished earlier or later (SFO-BOS-SFO).
my upgrade % out of SFO has been consistently good as well. I think it’s just poor for those flying out of SEA.
