with the new first class products foreign airlines come up with, why doesn't ua1flyer ditch UA, since they won't even have first class

If I recall correctly, he had a plane named after him? Is that true? I mean, can you say Singapore Airlines will do that? How cool is that!

But at the end of the day, he only needs to get from point A to point B on a commercial airplane and I feel like if he's exclusively flying UA, many times he's connecting rather than flying n/s on another airline.

but it's still just a regular UA jetliner right? its not like it becomes his personal jet when he flies on it?
Yes I would be more impressed had he not flew all those miles on UA !

Yes,over a million on American, and another million or so split between 50 plus airlines over the last 40 plus years. Air Thai might be 3rd place. Love flying with them. On another note for those who were asking, I passed 100,000 PQM last week.(118K)

Moderator note.
A recent off-topic discussion has been deleted as it's likely to derail the thread's topic, which is to recognize United's -- by far -- exceptional lifetime GS flyer, who is also a FT member, and approaching (soon at current velocity) 20 MM BIS. Ocn Vw 1K, Moderator.

Cool..... keep us abreast of your 20 MM flight as it approaches for I was in 2A on your LAX-ORD 10 MM flight just behind you if you recall. Love to join your 20 MM flight. BTW my next flight I will have just cleared 1MM with UA, haha.^
