Yep, U of C it is. Should be fun.

I like the all miles = lifetime status miles thing with AA, but I don't like the fact that it's more expensive to upgrade. And after one flight recently, I really like MRTC.

What did UA do to annoy you? I know they were having all sorts of problems when they were looking at a strike; is that over? And a friend of mine worked there for a summer, so I kind of know about employee class. But I'm in Chicago... that seems like it should be a big plus for UA for me. Then again, I guess it's still a huge city.
