Small world, I thought the same thing when the pilot mentioned it over the PA...

I became a DL FF mainly because I wanted to take advantage of the service to MLB, but nowadays I always end up having to fly out of MCO anyway, so why not just fly the bigger airline with the better FF program.
I'd beg to differ... ex-MCO I still think DL > UA... and I've flown UA more recently.

Then again, this summer has been MUCH better than last summer at MLB when I was getting a weekly call from the station manager with "better flight routings"...
