Hmmm, I don't think I'll divulge which company it is, but it is Fortune 500. It is also very old-world in it's travel benefits as well as other benefits in general. No slim-down, lean corporate mentality here.

We have negotiated, preferred rates with several carriers including our local fortress hub operator. Obviously, for convenience reasons it's usually easier to fly them out of their hub, many destinations and high availability. On the off-chance I'm not flying from the hub I choose based on convenience and what I read around here. I've got a flight coming up from ORD - PDX and I've got to choose between UA and AA first class.

Any suggestions?
