After several years of anonymous lurking and several months as a silent but attentive member, it seems to me that a brief introduction is long overdue. In my professional life, I'm an engineer for a major US-based corporation and travel several times a year, both domestically and globally. I've logged most of my air time on United and Continental, with a few foreign carriers thrown in for variety.

I've found this site to be both helpful and entertaining over the past several years, and I look forward to participating more actively in the future.
