STORY HIGHLIGHTS
Tom Stuker is the first person to reach 10 million miles in United's Mileage Plus program
He has flown on almost 6,000 United flights since 1982 for business and pleasure
"If I go a week or two without flying, I get really jumpy," Stuker says

Stuker, a Chicago-based consultant for the automotive industry, has flown on almost 6,000 United flights since 1982. He travels extensively for business and pleasure, noting that he's taken about 60 honeymoons with "the woman of my dreams" in the last 15 years.

On Saturday, the airline feted Stuker at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, naming a Boeing 747-400 in his honor for the occasion and presenting him with a first-ever Titanium United Mileage Plus card.

CNN: A lot of people complain about the lack of civility on planes. Have you seen less civility over the years, even in first class?
Stuker: Yes, people are rude.

Flying, because of the close quarters, will magnify people's rudeness. But I think people in general have less manners over the years. I think people are more selfish today, and it's just amplified in close quarters.
