Wouldn't it?

More like 4 times as focused -- is combination is exponential.

United having your back. Now that's something no one in their right mind could possibly believe.

Actually, it could be "United has your back (tortured in our new slimline Recaro seats)," which is another "change we think you are going to like"

That would be true until they hand you off to UAX, then they just throw your back under the bus as your UAX flight is delayed for X*

*It is either weather or ATC and never mechanical issues.

How to visually identify a long-term frequent flyer...


(Don't bother translating the balloon caption... it's some political cartoon. I did run it through Google translator to ensure that there was nothing off-color. )

+100000

In fact, I'm sure my back will hate me in a few weeks as I get to deal with:

ONT-DEN (CR2)
DEN-IAD (E75)
IAD-PVD (DH8C)

and on the return

PVD-EWR (DH8B)
EWR-IAD (ER4)
IAD-DFW (ER4)
DFW-SFO (CR7)
SFO-ONT (CR2)
