Ethicist

As I sat in the back of my IAH-EWR munching on my overpriced hockey puck of a hamburger, I wondered why I bothered giving CO any more business once I received Plt. Eventually I might use the SWU but since I do try to keep my travel costs down, I never expect to get the Pres Plat and thus am doomed to compete for an upgrade with those out of EWR paying for higher class tickets.

I am envious of those on other airlines who at least receive free drink coupons if they are not upgraded but CO seems to think that being able to get your luggage in the overhead compartment is sufficient compensation. BTW: After 9 months of travel, I am now at 120K and will probably be at
150+ before year end.
