Find a 12 Step program for FF membership programs.

Go with the flow. If the programs continue the downward spiral as they appear today then take advantage of perks ASAP. However, if the programs return to prior expectation levels, then reap the benefits. I am to the point of not even caring. I would give up my vaulted status at UAL for the opportunity to stay home and watch my children grow up. I have been UAL 1K for 9 years now and might not make it for 2004. I am also UAL Global Service, which is the top tier status that can only be obtained by invitation from UAL. While the perks are nice, being home as much as I have been this year is infinitely better. I guess I love my family more than the frequent flyer program that I once coveted.
