one pass overrated
I wish things could get better but it isn't. The problem is that free domestic
upgrades aren't worth it. I would trade in
those for a better intl policy. UA and AA are much better and more generous to their elites : plus have milion mile programs. Con -tinental

The UA million miler program is not mentioned as often because it is a legitimate, million flight miles on UA only sort of program. Given that the AA program counts flight miles, elite bonuses, partner airline bonuses, and heck, all other partner bonuses, a million miles on AA is reachable for almost everyone while on UA it's not reachable for most flyers.
