- 1K and Plat give GPUs/PP every year, whereas M&M only every other year, and only 1 longhaul upgrade.
- When I do fly to North America, good service, and irrops treatment.

Clearly there is no such thing as a perfectly fair programme, I agree. I was just saying that it's become much less attractive for me, and I guess most other non NA-based travellers, unless their main destination is NA and can thus fly UA easily.
