I must admit, I have been right there with the rest of you (us) cockroaches, feasting on the bounty of miles, and jumping on the low fares to make status and bump up our status, and engaging in the insane practice of "milage runs".

But, I have to say to all of us, hold the phone.

When Ben made a complete a** of himself with his mismarketing plan, we jumpted on him faster than e-mail at 3:00AM.

Maybe we are a little too primed to jump again. It has been said here before, and bears repeating.

WE HAVE NOT HEARD FROM US AIRWAYS.

Everything we have heard comes via a third unidentified party, relaying information from another unidentified party.

Maybe this is how US wants to drop a hint. Great. Hint taken. They have made their internal change (maybe) and updated the phone system (halfway).

Until anyone can come back and demostrate the REMOVAL of miles, this is just a stupid way to drop a hint. No fingerprints, no liability. How many of us have not had miles from one promo or another not post?

Anyone here get less miles than they deserved (going by the book) on any flights recently. I think not. How can we complain about not getting that last few thousand miles for a flight when we received over 35,000 miles for a transcon ($240) and over 15,000 for a east coast flight under $150.

Read the pamphlet in the seatback in front of you:

In case of emergency, put the mask on AND TAKE A COUPLE OF DEEP BREATHS.

Let's make sure there is a fight to fight.
