Hmmm. If we got down to under $1,000 for 100k miles on one of the legacy carriers, I'm listening. For AA, I'd do it in a heartbeat. For UA, I'd hesitate for a minute, and then do it. For US, I'd closely examine whether I'd really use 'em in 2006 or 2007 and what my ROI would be.

For the other three, you gotta get down to about $500 before I'm even going to nibble.
