I hope so too, and the mixers are actually pretty good (I blew my elite kit chits on them over the last couple of weeks), but it's a slippery slope. It is decidedly harder to start giving something away that you used to offer for a fee for than to start charging for amenities you used to provide at no cost. Unfortunately CO's momentum as of late is in the latter direction.

Absolutely. Keep the cabins cool... I'll hang on to my jacket, there's no room in the closet anyway!
