Thanks so very much for being my friend, and also not booking ANYTHING on UA for a few months. ALL 4 segments (FREE upgrades) for my BWI MR on Monday cleared at exactly 96 hours, on the dot, and it appears that all my friends that are leaving in droves are assisting us dumkoff's that happened to buy our MR's 11 months out for this p.o.s. airline!

Yep, this airline is definitely the worse of the lot!
My next run is going to be on WN, where I can get some respect and a choice of any seat on the plane.
