Finally made it from Silver to Gold, not sure if this is a big move or not. But I want to thank all on the list for all the great help and tips this past year.

Just think Delta 767's galore. General aviation aircraft, the Cirrus for example, are better equipped in the cockpit than a 767---before dereg the old saying on the East Coast after you died you had to stop at Atlanta first, on the way to where ever . At least then the Delta was top notch airline, I am going to miss NWA. Since everything from cars to paving of roads is going to be nationalized why not regulate the airlines just tad? Oh yea, we all are going to be stopping in Atlanta soon. Crowds, surly DL folks, our awards will be slowly but surely devalued, and we will miss many a connection (JFK and Atlanta--2 hell holes for connecting flights).

Most important though: Happy and SAFE holidays to all.
