I admit that while I'm not very egotistical much of the time, I patted myself on the back for the SWU prediction (particularly w/r/t my view that CO would set qualification for SWUs at 100K to incentivize us to fly more). That said, I think we've seen all of the major CHANGE CO has in store for OnePass for the near future, with the possible exceptions of: 1) adjustments to earnings levels on LH and AC flights as the JV gets up and running in 2010; and 2) bringing United flights into the OnePass mileage upgrade regime at the same levels as CO flights (like the old days of CO and NW mileage upgrading).

I do think the big takeaway for everyone, whether they previously believed CHANGE had come or not, is that CO and United are clearly operating in "no bullsh!t" mode with respect to making any and all adaptations necessary to succeed in the new competitive environment of the US airline industry.
