If I stay with DL, I will remain in PM hell forever. I appealed to DL without any luck. So, I am taking my $50K in business to AA. I was really looking forward to hitting 2MM but it is not to be.

I've often wondered why more Atlantans don't avail themselves of the CLT route. With the demise of Air Tran I'd throw some travel AA's way through Charlotte just to give it a try.
