Sure you don't. Then explain this statement:
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">For what it's worth, if I fly on a non-eligible ticket, I'd try a couple of times.... [n]ow look at that ... I'm accused of being unscrupulous myself.</font>
Well the plan that you applaud and would try a couple of times yourself is no mere "loophole" nor have I a quarrel with one who tries to obtain FF on a one shot basis, but it is the repeated efforts to attempt to do same when it is quite clear that you are not permitted to do so and your intial attempts to do so are rebuffed -- only then do I think that more than skirts the ethical boundaries of behavior.
Nevertheless, I am not trying to enforce any sort of morality here as your are all grown up adults, I am just sharing my views on the subject and nothing more.
I will gladly accept your claim that your:
