Joined MP in '87, just after my 2nd birthday. (In hindsight, it was nice of the parents to sign me up; they must have realized I'd one day seek MM status.)

UA create a FF program in mid, late 1981 and I have been a member since 1985.

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unite...rs-merged.html covers similar ground for the PMUA MP folks.

Joined MP in 1984 - In those days when I traveled on free trip received mileage credit. Was Prem Exec (75K days for premier exec) starting in 1988 and remained at that level until 1998 at which point became a 1K. Early days of 1K exceeded today's GS service. Those days are long gone.

12/31/1999, I flew on a redeye SFO-IAD and listened to the pilots chatting with ATC, wondering if the computers were all going to crash.

I joined UA MP in 1981 with MP# 0002...

I was, um, 33 in 1981, which makes me how old now?...

Sadly, 4/10/2001. I flew a fair number of uncredited miles in the years prior. Dumb.

Another interesting question would be when you first attained elite status on United. Which for me wouldn't have been until possibly 2004? (Originally thought 2005 but then noticed I've been on FT since 2003 and I believe it was the following year I was first a lowly 2P... obviously I can go back and check my posts!)
