FFG/UA Nov 7 2015 ORD mini-DO: UA Ops Cntr Tour, QA, Dinner @ Berghoff--REG LINK OPEN

We are delighted to announce our third and final Frequent Flyer Giving (FFG) and United Airlines WeCare Employee Relief Fund event for 2015. After fantastic turn-outs in both Austin and Seattle, we've turned to the north coast — Chicago — home to United Airlines for this event. Attendees will enter the iconic Willis Tower for an in-depth tour of United's National Operations Center and a presentation and Q&A session with UA management. Afterwards, there will be three course dinner and all you can drink alcohol a few blocks away at another Chicago icon, the Berghoff. Don't be surprised if you see some special guests from United there.
