UA purchased by AA!!!
CNBC is reporting this deal. UA will cease to exist in 6 months. UA mileage members will get 1/2 of their total points as AA points, with the rest disaapearing. The deal was signed this morning, so it's too late to do anything with the miles at this point.
At least UA folks will not loose everything!

It's April Fool's day, folks. Caveat emptor.

I hate April Fools Day! May your miles be sucked into cyberspace never to be seen again!

Damn...you really had me going...
That was a good one. I saw a awful lot of my miles being lost

I should have realized that AA can't afford to by UA
