[Exec Plat and Disgusted]

Well friend, I did indeed rack up 4 million miles during my flying years on American with 1.1 M remaining in AAdvantage. I take your point (caution) about suggesting United (all have sharp edges) but this was not based on flights but on the ease I experienced and the options offered when I cashed in my miles with them. I'm Platinum for life based on the Exec Plat history.

I lived in Airports for 30 years - not flying these days is sweet. I've had my fill and the horrible flight experiences that come with that life (if you can call it a life). I've experienced the best they have to offer but the day you stop flying - well - it's over.

I expected better from AAdvantage but reality is a bitch. Delta? Oh god - don't get me started.
