I am def in for the flight, I just gotta figure out when I want to get into LA Friday as doing same day seems bad if I run into delays. Something tells me this LAX>ORD, will not get delayed much if any coming out of LA.
Anways I will def be taking some pictures, hopefully will be able to get them with all the crew and such too.
Time to book out a few hotels

I stopped by the GS room at ORD this afternoon. I asked a few of the agents if they knew about this milestone. Trust me, from what they told me, this is something not to be missed. I won't go into details about this, but this is a major event in the life of United Airlines.
Gees, I'm now convinced that they like him even more than they like me...

There still any space for this? I conveniently left for vacation just before it was posted/announced and only just returned -- and vacationed properly, by not using the internet for anything but research on where to get the best food...

Hi Tom,
Thanks so much for the invite. I'm really looking forward to being up in the front of UA942 with you to help you celebrate crossing this incredible threshold.
I'm doing it the hard way, early morning IAH to LAX first!
I'm staying at the ORD Hilton, convenient for one or more afterparties!

Sam Elliott, but I think UA will do much better for Tom! There are some great real UA captains + wouldn't be surprised if Jeff Foland or Tom O'Toole were on board &/or at the ORD party, as this is a great marketing op for UACO merger. I mean really, he is the first 10MM flyer on United, which is a unbelievable threshold & one very few will ever achieve.

I'd love to have Captain Denny Flanagan fly us to ORD.
