IMO, US Is Good to All Elites
While I've never been CP and thus can't speak to treatment as a CP, I have been either SP or GP for each of the last 8 years. Almost without fail, every time I've had an "irregularity" as an elite, I've felt that my status received some consideration and far more often than not substantial consideration. This has been true even where the "irregularity" was my fault. Further, I feel my status is consistently recognized even where there's no "irregularity." I cannot say the same on either score for the other airlines I've had status on. That's why I'll continue to fly US wherever possible.
