If there were no FF programs I, and I suspect many VVF coach business travelers who make thier own travel arrangements would always fly either Midwest Express or Southwest. Why in the world would ANY VF coach flyer pick UA or AA for other then the FF program???? Routes and schedules matter, but not the difference that the majors charge.</font>
Uh, hello? ConAir and Midwest Express do not fly everywhere I need to go. There is, for example, a huge hole in ConAir's schedule -- I can not go to Denver on them. And Midwest Express -- well, their name tells it all, doesn't it?

Plus, with ConAir, there is the issue of the cattle call. I'll be ****ed if I'm going to subject myself to that crap when I'm travelling for my company. I won't do that to myself when I'm flying on my own dollar, the hell with doing it when my company's paying for me to go somewhere.
