Tom,
I think many of us have a good idea of the basics of your UA travel history - but, unless this is going to be discussed in your book (or I missed it somewhere else) - I am not getting more intrigued by your MM AA status and the circumstances that led you to travel so much on AA (and I am not bashing AA) given your "relationship" with UA.
I rarely travel on AA, for many reasons, and typically it is because UA is just a better option.... you must have taken a lot of CLT-MIA- Caribbean flights (I even found EWR-South America easier on UA than the few times I took AA)
