ronboakes_87114For the first time in my life, next year I will have premier status in not one, but two, airline frequent flier programs. Of course, this accomplishment wasn't made in quite the usual way.
Mostly because of two trips to India -- on in January and one in October -- I qualified for American Airline's "Gold" level. Then a couple of weeks ago, Motorola decided to change preferred airlines (for the first time in more than 17 years as near as I can tell) to United. As part of the deal, I automatically qualify for the equivalent status in United's program.
Of course this will make sure that I don't travel anywhere next year.
Actually, there is a chance that I may have to go to India or China next year to deliver some training or support, but I'm not holding my breath.
