I'm not flying UA because of MileagePlus redemptions. If you're strictly here for redeeming cheap NH/LH F awards, then maybe? Besides, you'd be crazy to churn UA miles with Chase when you could just as easily churn Inks for transfer to Hyatt or Aeroplan.
I'm on UA because it offers the best price/schedule for the routes I have to fly, and considering I'm averaging 91% CPU clearance rate this year, it's been paying off wrt actual benefits when flying. The occasional free ticket somewhere is a nice, but secondary benefit.
