ontravel, Quietlion and fallinasleep:

Thanks for the good info. I did not ask for an expedited decision though... Maybe I should have! I do appreciate all your comments. As I have said before, this is a great forum with a great group of people. I will check my status on the UAL website everyweek or so.

Quietlion, I am sorry our timing is off. I would have enjoyed meeting you in Thailand.
Maybe next time!
