Yes, happy about it. AA does not serve my local airport (or many places in the Northeast) and US is the dominant carrier. I would hope we would get an ORD flight or two to compete with UA and if by some stroke of luck, even a DFW flight (though that is a wish and not realistic IMO). When flying overseas (company offices near LHR and CDG) then I drive to BOS and frequently fly BA. So I could combine my miles and maybe get a higher status rather then possibly being split between the two.
Cheers.
