I would have to agree with you. I am generally satisfied with UA's service but see no reason to throw any extra business to UA due to its unfair treatment of government travelers.

AA had a number of promotions last year, including the AANYC, AABOS and Fly3,FlyFree promos which permitted qualification on government-fare tickets.

Another AA perk: Assuming you have elite status, you can buy 500 mile e-upgrade "stickers" for roughly 1/2 of what UA charges, and can use them to upgrade travel on government-fare tickets.
