I have slowly worked my way down the UA FF programs from GS to 1K to almost certainly gold next year. While I still fly for business quite a bit I had over the last 2 years migrated to flying more with AS and since saw my status with UA plummet. Unfortunately AS during the pandemic dropped some of the routes I flew the most on so I am now back to UA for the most part but that is another long story. I will probably miss the 1K line at the ticket counters/baggage check. I generally check at least one bag and with still no curb side checking available that for me is big as was the separate GS check in lounge at SFO. I can't tell you how many flights I probably would have been late for waiting in the regular line to check a bag. I often board late so early boarding for me is not a big deal. Typically take a aisle seat and have little carry on so no real need to board early.
