Plateau bonuses were fantastic. I swear that I still have miles left from those years.
The sales upgrades were great and really rewarded the right kind of loyalty. My company had a "buy C, get F if available" deal with UA. So I got F about 80% of the time. Of course, for a $5k ticket, I deserved F. Today, it seems like a lot of FTers want F with caviar, Dom and carved chateaubriand on a double upgrade from a V fare.
