It's BAAAAACK: "From Bangkok to Buenos AIRes"
At the FT dinner with UA folks a while back we were proudly told that they had killed off the horrible hold message, which also includes "there, and there, and there, and there"...and today I have had the joy of hearing this over and over and over and over again. Maybe if they bring this back they can also bring back old award charts and qualifying status?

the other day my wife commented to me about how much free time i have lately since i stopped flying UA and am not on the phone with them all the time. i guess not having to listen to the revival of there, and There and THERE is another fringe benefit.

It makes me nostalgic for an older, simpler time, with $400 MRs from EWR-HNL, no minimum fare class for upgrades, and proper customer service. Oh wait that was only a couple years ago.
