Beuhler? Buehler?

Lalala, I haven't tried this yet. After AS started making it difficult to upgrade on their metal while putting miles in my AA account (and vice versa), I quit cross - assigning miles between accounts altogether. Now I just fly AS and put the miles in MP, fly AA and put the miles in Aadvantage. I really would rather fly into EWR on AS than into JFK on AA, but right now I'd rather fly AA and put up with the Kennedy hassles and get the free EXP upgrade. I'm kind of a hassle free guy and will go in the direction of least resistance when it comes to stuff like this.

FWIW, I'm done flying in June after requalifying for ASMVPG 4/15 and AA EXP 5/15 for 2005. Considering the changes within AS, the fact that TSA gate grope is coming back and that I'm selling my business to become a humble law student in the fall, my AS days are more than likely over unless something radically changes with them next year to make me want to spend the money to requalify.
