Thanks guys. You are right, the least I can do is trial US plat, match to DL plat, and then match to UA plat, which makes it just a little less painful to get to UA1K, but I still have to fly the whole 100k miles. Aight...gotta buckle down and take it slow. Already got 16k done since begining of year, but I don't see any MR's near my location (RDU)
