United just extended my global services status to next year. Appreciate the effort from them, bit I just don’t think I will fly anymore (unless it’s for vacation next year)...

Weird flex, but ok.

Realized that it came across like that. 😀

My sentiment was a bit more of a bit of empathy for United/airlines in general. I suspect there may be many like me in our industry who may have fundamentally changed mindsets on travel and “chasing status”.

I think this happened a while ago

They extended all but GS a long time ago. Just announced GS is following suit this week. They're also adding domestic lounge access on top of the other benefits, which is nice

You wouldn’t want to fly ever or do you mean next year?

For sure next year. but also a more longer term reset on low travel volume.

I guess I would just extend my stay at the hotel if required, does anyone know if that's an acceptable answer if asked by border control?

NFW- I just had a good laugh. Earlier today I was on a video conference call reviewing a Private Label Agreement template with a larger company who wishes to brand label products we develop and manufacture. We came to a very one-sided provision and my sales VP stated “for this one, how can we just say ‘hell no’ ...nicely?” The other person on the call said we can replace the wording with just NFW (no f@$* way) and I said “I will have to add that to the defined terms section so it’s clear”
