PHL and China not so bad.

ExCrew,
Living in Philly and is not so bad as being a US Air Hub I either use United or US Air and send my miles to UA. Needless to say some times my ticket is a combination of both to make it easy. Living in China UA is the only game in town to easily get to Philly unless one would like to fly Air China (I dont think so). So maybe I am cheating as I dont have to fly to a small market but coming from the Pacific many times United or NW (what a horrible Airline) are the only choices available.

Here is a good question...how many 1Ps, 1Ks, and UGS live in areas which are not UAL hubs domestically (non SFO,LAX,DEN,ORD,IAD)? I am interested to find out.
