Doing better as a Gold than I did as a 1K last couple of years. CPU'ed SFO-PHX 7:05 pm departure last night at T-30. Also cleared an early morning departure (PHX-SFO 5:10 a.m. at T-48) but wound up taking a different flight. So either 1/2 or 2/3 this year depending on how you count.

Here's the waitlist on UA 2293 for 4/8 at T-40. CPUs through Gold already cleared (including mine), meaning these are all Silvers on the list:
Haven't seen this since early pandemic.

A few flight updates as a Silver. I seem to get decent luck flying EWR-YUL as a silver, as it's the second time I've been upgraded on that leg!
3/29 EWR-YUL upgraded on award ticket (with United Club Card was 8th on upgrade list)
4/4 EWR-FLL not upgraded (was 28th on upgrade list)
4/7 FLL-EWR not upgraded (was 26th on upgrade list)
