I travel because that is how I get to work. I am PM now and will most likely be Diamond next year. So what. In the end, I get on a bus to get to work. Then I get on a bus to go on vacation. Sometimes I get coke sometimes I get pepsi. I have yet to get off a flight and been dehydrated. Seriously people get over yourselves.
I am sure that this post won't win many friends, but it is so hard to get info when there is so much negative noise to plow through.
My thought scrap the whole program and guarantee me that I will never have another delayed flight or miss a connection. That would blow away any auto upgrade or SWU benefit as I would feel that the airline actually values my time as my as I do.
