Re: the US/UA suggestions: my recollections are horrible planes and service. Has there been improvement over the last several years? (I swore off UA after a 90 minute wait for baggage at SFO). I have a lot of upcoming travel where US makes a lot of sense, but I still think of them as US Scare.[/B][/QUOTE]
We are also upset with DL Medallion Program changes after many years at PM level - we also have distinctly different travel patterns. I decided to take a US comp to GP - moved up quickly to Chairman's status. Upgrades have been nearly 100% although some flights at RSW are coach configuration only/ Ms. gulfcoast comped on UA to 1P - Gold - has done well on upgrade opportunity - especially international - much better than DL!
Good Luck!
