UA should do something for elites who have earned status for the last three years rather than relying on flying from four years ago, which in many/most cases has nothing to do with how much they will be flying this year.

No, some extra PQP deposited this year doesn't count as doing something.

And before you say 1Ks being extended don't get new PPs, consider that they already have PPs extended through July 31. So that means that requalifying 1Ks will only have an advantage in the second five months of the year. Yay.
