Baze, how do you feel now, after 12 years and 935K to have the benefits changed on you? If you were given the option to have the recalibration taken away and let you get to the million mile mark by flying the actual mileage? I am a 2MM with the recalibration but I feel cheated, I feel what they did was unethical.

Of course a person who has travelled one million miles is someone that can add 1+1 but let's face it, if we all bought "A" or "F" class tickets, we wouldn't be here complaining, or at least I wouldn't be. Also, this is not a symposium of like-minded professionals, it's a public webpage for everyone's viewing, and coming across as a bunch of elitists will not help our cause to the general public, of course others may think differently. And that's okay.

I prefer taking the more humble route, if one doesn't feel the same, that's okay too. It takes a village and we all have to live on this earth together.

If you google "Million Miler status United" the WSJ article shows up third with "I really hate it when someone lies to me..."

That's what I mean about getting the word out^^^
