You'll regret it.

You should do it for sh*ts and giggles.

I can snag a 767 PHL-CLT. I hear their 767s are in lovely condition. :)

I'm not sure there is anything about that itinerary that would cause "giggles"

Kind of like me actually buying a ticket in US F next week to accomplish several goals:
  • Renewing my UA status.
  • Flying the A-321.
  • Flying the EMB-190.
  • Adding six new routes and five new lines to my FlightMemory map.

I'll let you know just how bad US F really is after I've flown it Tuesday.

PHL-SJC $692+ Q-UP on US. I found a PHL-CLT-PHX-SJC-PHX-CLT-PHL routing that will earn about 17,500 BD miles...

That would basically requalify me for 2010 (~34K total), but it means flying US AND it is pretty expensive for the points. A few fun new lines and a new city (SJC) but no way I'm giving US any money these days. If we keep feeding them then they won't die.

And I flew a USX E170 in early 2007; it wasn't that bad.
