Hey Guys,

New to the forums . I am moving to ORD for my new job, and wanted input on which FFP to join. I currently have Gold with AA, but also know United has a hub there, so trying to decide whether I should status match with United and focus on United instead? Is there any advantage to United now that AA has switched to revenue based as well?
