Dear Anns,

Thank you for the responses! I'll confess, I have looked at other possible partners in MSN, but as flyinryan notes, none of them seem that much more attractive than United, as far as type of conveyance goes. But then there's "personality" - and I think others may well be more reliable - more often on time and less likely to just leave me standing at the gate.

Yet I keep falling for United's sweet nothin's: "E+"...."500-mile upgrades...."

Still Forlorn, but, thanks to sinoflyer, Pegasus23, and gj83, with a little more backbone
