I'll gladly take your 4/5 of a domestic one-way off your hands for you. :rolleyes:

If it's still around, it must have been the PMCO form letter.

The 2014 form letter looks almost identical to the 2012 form letter posted at the start of this thread. It makes me wonder just how many of these get mailed out this way.

This story has made my local paper here this morning too: (Courier Mail - Brisbane, Australia)

Could be worse. Your specific item could have been a DVD of all the Smisek videos.

Nah, for that you have to pay 10,000 miles + S&H.

The CIA bought them all after Congress made them stop waterboarding.

The corporate world will surprise you.

Also, we all know very well it's not a matter of "afford". :)

UA also has a pretty valuable product they can exchange in a B2B deal. You give us deeply discounted hotel rooms and we give you deeply discounted airfare.

They probably selected "contact me via email only" in their profile.
I did something similar with AA. I had sent in a question using their online form and in the body of my question, I just asked for an email response. The next day, I got a call from someone at AA who answered my question. I actually appreciated the call though. Very nice of them to do that.

I switched to a flight the next day at this point. No one at United even seems to try anymore.

I did however get 10k miles awarded to my account, but they have devalued miles so much, they are worthless.
10K wow, Two weeks ago I was on the ORD-MUC 777, in paid J and the seat was broken. No proper upright position as per FAA for landing and take off and no lie flat. I stupidly wasted my time with the were sorry card the purser
gave me here was the result:

I spoke to two CSRs on the 800 number. One offered 500 miles and the other suggested that I write an email. the email is what netted the 10k.
