UA was my company's preferred carrier. First serious miles came in 2001. I was in a job with very little travel but took on a "specail project" that resulted in 3 business trips early in the year. Then in the fall a personal trans con & 1 LAX-LHR (booked thru UA vacations) made me 2P for 2002, and I fell in love w/ E+. In 2003 they comped my 2P despite little activity (<5K EQM's), and late in the year I got a new job that required heavy travel. Even though we now have AA as a preffered carrier option in addition to UA, I've been 1K ever since. ^

My work got me going on UA/MP, E+ hooked me, Now I jones for my SWU/CR-1's.
