Have some other shorter intra-European/African/Asian flights in there on LH/OS/NH. I also had one entire itinerary to/from AMM on a TK ticket (so no PQM counted). What are my odds of GS? I know $30k is mentioned a lot, but not all of my flights are on UA metal. Most international flights were in business class and the few domestic were cheap economy.
The conventional wisdom is you need +/- $50K spend on UA metal. There are likely other factors (home base, etc.) but $30K is not going to cut it, especially if not all on UA birds. PQM is likely not relevant at all.
