The grass is always greener on the other side. While I agree it's ridiculous that they charge to join their FF program and they charge for a replacement card, I'd hardly call their practices nickel & diming. Meals are free; alcohol is free; entertainment is free; check-in at the airport versus online is free; luggage checking is free; and I'm sure there are many others. These are things commonly complained about by many American and European airlines that are no longer free. So as much as people may like to complain about LY, they actually treat us pretty decently.

I did see your post, and I meant to quote you, but alas, even the most nimble minds forget

I got my PM right after PMing him, so I guess he like me more
