I was surprised to find myself going to gate D29 in order to get to the UAL flight to SFO. I always thought that this no-mans-land was supposed to be AA territory. I haven't even thought about using AA for the past four years because I have been flying mostly to Denver and SFO and couldn't stand that thought of doing a transfer at DFW or flying in the back rows of an MD-80.

Now that my Premier status has been reset (only 24k miles last year) I really don't have too much to lose if I suddenly start going with another airline. With the tickets that I've already purchased, I'm easily going to reach 25k this year. But why?

When United started swapping gates at Dulles after the merger, why didn't it keep the Continental gates? If they are monopolizing this airport, it seems like they could muscle everyone out of terminals A/B. This terminal is a dump. Why am I here?

For those who are asking, it will be at least ten years before metro makes its way out here. If it takes United just as long to fix up their gates out here, I'm already looking at other options.

Has American Airlines finally decided to stop forcing people to drink Pepsi at DFW airport?
