I am fully supportive this cautionary statement. Over the past several years, we have read posts in the annual qualification threads that a number of people did not make it for assuming all purchases via United on 016 stock would count towards GS. That is not true based on what have been reported. It is important to focus on flying on UA metals. There may be isolated exceptions, but the general consensus is that only PQD spent on United operates flights.

Thanks to the moderator for making this cautionary statement.
