I'm on what will probably be my last trip as United GS. Just in case I forgot how crappy it is:

* I got to SFO this morning (Jan 1) at 8 am to see it the most crowded I've ever experienced. Thank goodness for the GS reception, right? Nope. Apparently, it's closed for the morning.

* Once again, I'm at the top of the upgrade waitlist, with GS status and Plus Points applied, only to see the last couple of seats sold for TOD as I wait in the very long security line
