Consolidated 2009 Benefits Thread
Two questions:
1. When does the 2009 program get announced
2. Anyone have any ideas of what changes are to come? Haven't seen much posted this year as compared to last...

Given the deteriorating economy I wonder if there will be more mileage promotions throughout the year to entice people to fly and earn.
In term of benefits for E's and SE's I can't predict what they'll do. Any experts out there want to share their predictions.

In the current economic environment, "nothing to worry about" does not sound overly surprising.
The real question probably should be if for once there will be changes in a positive direction. Thinking in particular about IKK castration being rolled back at least for spouses/companoins/SOs.
And yes, one can always hope. But holding one's breath?

Based on the experience of the last 8 consecutive years, the best anyone should hope for is no changes, which would be a break from "tradition."
I still expect cutbacks of some sort or another, justified by the "tough economy."

Well - I don't want to take this thread off topic so I'll throw in a 'non-expert' prediction. My prediction is that our cards will be a new colour.
Ok - now that I stayed on topic let me go where no man has gone before... at least not through my search.
I never though of this.... until now. Is bestof2k9 a boy or a girl? I always assumed female and I have no idea why. Go figure! But I see in this thread alone there is a s/he reference.
Enquiring minds want to know!
So do tell - along with your fascinating information - bestof2k9 - do I shake your hand or do I tip my hat to you?
Cheers!
