GG & I have no current status on United but expect to match from Delta to Gold (Premier Exec) for our flights to NZ & OZ next spring. We expect to both be Delta plat on our own (fairly many) nickels this year. United is clever enough to match a level lower status. It will keep us on UA rather than QA for next spring's tickets.

GG says repeat: it's our own moolah we spend, no corp money here (more's the pity).
