Dingo, I feel for you. Being in a US hub has to make the decisions very difficult. Im in a different situation. I have been taking the connections on US to fly them. This has made it pretty easy for me to see what to do. Funny thing, I remembered why I started flying US in the first place. My wife is from PIT and we go there once or twice a year. She likes to preboard. Yea, I realize how stupid that sounds. It was the CP line and the unlimited upgrades that kept me. They dont seem as glossy now.
