bruceb - No, as far as I know UA has not matched AA with the fare credits type system applying to the top tier. I understand they took it away, or at least made it possible to reach Exec Platinum(or whatever it is called over there) via miles and segments again as the other US majors didn't follow.

To reach 1K on UA it is:

100,000 paid flown miles
or
100 segments

Actually I think LH Miles & More has a better mix of both worlds: They keep the mileage requirements for top elite level (Senator) the same, but give you generous (2x, 3x) bonus miles for paid class of service that count as status miles. It is a pity the rest of the operation is so subpar! D'OH!
