I made 25K yesterday. Already have travel scheduled that will get me to 50K by March 15th!!
I really feel cheated that US Air does not have a million miler program

- would have been preferred for life by now (perhaps twice over in the coming year or two)!! But given I live in PHL, kind of hard to switch (have tried flying CO/DL, and given up on EWR after I realized that delays there were worse than PHL).....
