I mean this in the nicest way: you'd have to be a special kinda stupid to quit UAL more than 2 days prior to your Delta class (assuming it even materializes). If it were me I think I'd be in class at UAL 'til 5pm the day prior and have purchased a ticket to ATL at 6pm (with the local charter co. number in my phone as a backup). I'm the last to advocate burning a bridge, but UAL gets burned either way in this scenario IMO.

Congrats and good luck!

Sure it is if you're referring to Alaska Air Group (AAG).

Although "burning a bridge" is never a good idea, an airline won't even think twice when doing what's best for itself. In other words, do what's BEST FOR YOU.

Correct, I blew it. When I see "AAG" I think of the new 'Merican.

Hey Everyone, thanks for your honest feedback. It looks like for now I will stick with United until Delta makes it official. I don't like burning bridges and definitely don't like black marking my reputation...however never thought I'd be in this position. It is a tougher problem than originally thought. I know Delta is a solid company now...but it can always change and go the other way and United could be the go to airline in the future. I guess there is no gracious way of leaving one legacy airline for another legacy. Will have to make a tough call when Delta officially invites.

Question, have you been to Kmart and purchased an 'all knowing~all seeing' 8 ball? That would be my move..............YHGTBSM.
