Unfortunately, this turned out to be true.
Yet many of you cheered for the merger, and said that I worry too much.
People, wake up.
Indeed. So as a 1K the first 70K flown in '11 means ZERO CR1 accrual. That is a major downgrade. Today, I can fly 10K and accrue a CR1 to use for a p.s. flight a few weeks later...that scenario just vanished.
It wasn't just about preserving the Tulip. It's about preserving what it represented, an airline with a very good Mileage Plus program, that is being hollowed out from the core by the smary Jeffrey and his ugly beachball.
