Roll Call for 1K Segment Qualifiers - Did you switch?
Just wondering how many other 1K's out there who qualified by reaching 100 segments in 2010 but now have decided to switch to another carrier because of the change to 120 EQS for 2012.
How many EQS's did you achieve in 2010 - 108
Have you decided to switch to another carrier? - Yes - AA
Revenue UA has lost YTD due to your switch - $3,400 (thru 2/18/2011)
Your home Airport - ORD
Thanks!

Have you decided to switch to another carrier? - Will make at least 2P on UA, to keep E+...beyond that, still undecided. Most likely will go with WN as I have no interest in international travel for pleasure.
Revenue UA has lost YTD due to your switch - unsure
Your home Airport - SMF

You're probably only interested in hearing from folks who *only* qualified via EQS but here's another data point if nothing else...
EQS: 112 (vs over 140 last year - only traveled half the year in '10)
Switch Carrier: No (am within striking distance of 1MM in '11 and besides I always qualify by miles in addition to segments)
Lost Revenue: None
Home AP: COS (where UA is still king)

I decided to switch to DL. I did 130+ segs last year so that would make me a diamond on dl.
$600 lost revenue to DL.
Then, my first flight, mechanical delay and there was no gate agent until 30 minutes after boarding time. No status until 15 minutes after that. No flight notifications, just questions.
Return flight, same story. Late flight, no annoucements no updates.
Back to UA I go, maybe they will get wifi and inseat power.

I have a feeling that being from a non-major airport, i will be having to take 2 segments to get anywhere, so i will most likely continue to reach 1K even witht he increate to 120. Hopefully my job doesn't put me into United hub for a client site. If that is the case, i won't make it.

Have you decided to switch to another carrier? - Nope, will just arrange business and personal travel to make sure I do it with miles this year.
Revenue UA has lost YTD due to your switch - None because of this. Some because even with CO options they still don't serve the South very well.

Revenue UA has lost YTD due to your switch - None for UACO. Have booked 10 tickets so far for 2011, with 9 being for travel within the first two months (i.e., by 2 Mar). Of these 10, 4 were booked with UA and 6 with CO.
With my travel being 100% out-of-pocket, and with UA having tightened up routing rules during 2010, resulting in a significant increase in cost of multi-segment tickets, in 2011 I plan to requalify for 1K by miles. Depending on how the announced UACO "enhancement" package looks like by the end of 2011, I may or may not continue to strive for 1K during 2012 and beyond. May just decide to slip back to 1MM Premier Exec and start burning up my considerable account miles.

Have you decided to switch to another carrier? Not yet - but I have booked my first AA flight in years to try them out. We'll see how that goes.

Have you decided to switch to another carrier? Not viable, UA is the only direct to ORD from my home airport (AA left a few years ago), otherwise I would consider it.
Revenue UA has lost YTD due to your switch - Let's just say that since I doubt I'll make 120 segments, all other airlines are in play for non-ORD trips. If United is competitive I'll use it and use my upgrade certificates, but I am one 1K that is doubtful for next year due to the 120 EQS increase and it will mean lost revenue for UA (estimate $8K for the year)
