I fly United out of Chicago and I'm pretty sure (new) gold still puts me near the bottom of the upgrade list. Flights are full of platinum/1k passengers.

Got gold. Got first class my first trip. Annnnd delayed for 3 hours...

I've been trying to figure out what status you need to get group 1. Is it platinum or 1K? (And first class, or course)

Did your boarding pass change? They haven't been recently but the desk can print you a new one

Platinum and 1k get group 1, gold and silver are group 2. I am status challenging from AA and this threw me off too. But God damn is United express better than American eagle... I fly to a small market, obviously

Upgrades should get group 1 too i think

They didn’t ask for payment and message popped up saying watch your text/email for next steps. Anything else I can do?

Should I decline to pursue the opportunity just so I have a longer track record at my current firm? This will be my 4th if I move.
