Oh come on now, surely you stretching this. How many different ways can someone get down the highway? I already told you the RailMiles is fine.

Absolutely not. I don't think I am doing this any more than some (and not specifically you) imply that all decisions by DL management is automatically worse than those same thoughts. They had three choices, go with SkyMiles, go with WorldPerks or go with something else. They made the decision. They had to decide something. I think NW made a trip to Chapter 11 too...in fact, if I remember right, the very same day. IMHO, anyone here that well aware of the brand names shouldn't care what it is called. I am certainly open to the argument that WP would have been a better name for those that are not familiar with the brand names but I haven't read anything here to change my mind.
