Hi all,
I'm really trying to figure out with all of the changes for 2015 if I want to stay with United, or move to another program. I've typically been thinking about either AA or AS. Majority of my flying is domestically in the US, but I do 2-3 trips to Asia each year as well. Any feedback is appreciated.
