I think the best part of the crazy EWR-IAD-DEN-ABQ-ORD routing is that I only need to burn two e500s for upgrades. :)

Could someone please to be 'splainin this to me? I read 500 mile certificates and I think all segments under 500 miles. IAD - DEN does not qualify.

…And just now the Assistant HR Director received an e-mail stating that the employee we spent a third of the morning dealing with had resigned. :rolleyes:


Sorry, but that is just too funny. I know, I know, frustrating as he!! for you, but funny for us :D:D:D

The distance is calculated for EWR-ORD as the crow flies.

I keep reporting you, but nothing seems to happen. :-:

One of my colleagues sends e-mails that have reminders, so they switch from e-mails to essentially appointments (with the pop-ups, tone, everything). She needs to be added directly to the Junk E-mail fliter.

The UA System runs on Windows 3.11
It looks at the 2 endpoints only EWR-ORD

United does upgrades on distance between origin and destination.

EWR is the origin, ORD is the destination. 719 miles.

They have a 50 mile threshold. So you can upgrade up to a 550 mile trip with a single e500...

0-550 miles - 1 e500
551-1050 miles - 2
...

So, since 719 is in the range of two, i have to cash-in two of 'em.

Windows 3.11? I was thinking it was a DOS terminal.

Seriously, a good portion of a certain AAirline's ops are still run on AT&T PCs. Remember when ATT used to make PCs?
