Not moving as I am one of those who will benefit from the change - at least as long as I stay with my current employer/line of work. Instead of making MRs to barely make Gold, I should easily hit Platinum and maybe even 1K depending on how much added travel I have for the total year.

I’m mixed feeling over the change though. I don’t have time to travel on far away MRs unless it’s a vacation that I have already planned and I’m flying mostly OPM right now. At the same time, I already know that other airlines are better than UA for international travel and travel deals can come from anywhere. If I no longer have OPM in the equation, then I would most likely just fly free agency, only favoring UA domestically because of their hub dominance here.

Can’t wait to see if 2021 actually brings fewer in the Group 1 and 2 herds that are practically half the plane, if not more.
