Default best UA premier benefit

I was in a Mooney at 6500ft VFR just having passed PVD... A UA flight must have taken off just behind me on the same heading...

PVD Approach: UA123, maintain 6000, traffic is a Mooney 11 o'clock, three miles, VFR at 6500

UA123: maintain 6000, traffic in sight. hey, Mooney, your tail is on backwards. united123.

PVD Approach: Mooney 0RD, traffic is an airbus overtaking from behind holding at 6000.

Me: Traffic in sight, and hey United, be nice, I'm Premier on your airline. mooney0RD.

UA123, without missing a beat, half a mile off my wing, laughing: I take it back!

PVD Approach: UA123, traffic no factor, climb and maintain FL250

Have to say, best Premier benefit was getting the last word My passenger was in awe lol
