Much as it is unfortunate for Plats on UA metal, it wouldn't make any sense for UA to treat Plats, who may have flown as little as 75k, the same as 1ks who have flown at least 100k, possibly much more. This basically just the reverse issue of the 1k = Plat.

I disagree - if CO decided to "normalize" Plat and 1K into the same pool on CO flights, they need to enforce that on UA flights as well.

The most important question I have is who wins in a tie, co plat or 1K on the same fare? I believe it's 1K now.

I'm a CO Plat and United 1P. What gives me upgrade precedence on UA metal?
