Looks like Mr Cohen learned a few things from BBB. NW is now charging for Premium COACH sets. You may want to venture over and check out Mr. Cohens handy work.

I think he and Uncle Leo are on the NW Payroll.

BBB is President and CEO of Spirit Airlines.

BB is there too as a Vice President.

Amazingly, yes. And forward aisle seats.

As you can imagine, there's a 250+ post thread on the NW forum. I gives me flashbacks to the "maybe we don't want them" BBB days.

Perhaps we should do a pre-emptive strike and bombard US Consumer Affairs with "Don't even think about it" e-mails?
