I certainly wouldn't bank on gold being much of a lock.
I have been CP for the last few years and I have to say I have had my worst UG percentage this year. I have always had res in advance of the window as well. This was rather strange to me as I really thought the number of CP would be down this year due to the "flight of the faithful" to CO.
Strange days indeed. Are people actually buying those seats?
I appreciate that as a PHL captive maybe I am living among the only remaining US CPs outside of CLT.
Oh well, so it goes.
At least I got to use BOTH of my TATL certs ^.
