Mostly, I go by "Hey You," especially where my wife and children are involved.

Thank you, thank you very much. I didn't even have to resort to those "special" persuasive skills

Now just fingers crossed that my 6:30a US Scareways flight doesn't cancel!

Greetings Bx!

Gtitan reporting once more! After a rough (and I mean a rough 2010), looking forward in 2011 to returning to a little bit of airtravel, a fresh match to CO Plat status, and the jocularity that permeates the denziens of this den of dubiousness. Knowing the rules full well, I am reading from the beginning. Going to take a bit of time!

Excelsior!

Yeah... If I am going to do an upgrade I'd rather use it on the return because it is longer and a day flight, which means I get to make the most out of my BF experience... On the outbound, I will probably sleep more than half of the flight, so a waste of $$$ for me since I do not have any issues falling asleep in Y on redeye flights.

What happened to the other 3 SWUs??

Typical

UA 1Ks comes after Plats... Plat companions are after CO Silvers...
