THANKS, KOKONUTZ, hope you smoked a few.
Essexjay, I caught that it was a UA thread right off the bat. BUT, a non UA flyer who has not spent time with other UA flyertalkers, wouldn't get it. I know when I flew Delta, and US in the past, it would have been completely unclear. Imagine a new TWA flyertalker, they are not as informed/jaded/whatever as we are. Always teach as if someone was new.
MOTNOT, duke it out with sweet little old me? I would NEVER even think of such a thing... (trying to keep a straight face!)
