Try something
If you are chairman and the computer does not upgrade you at 7 days, call and customer service will (at least they do for me, perhaps i have old fart by my name).

Favorite planes may have been the 720 and the original 747 with the piano bar upstairs.
Most fun airline: PSA :"Fly with us and get a rise, the business man's airline". I think their outfits were skimpier than Hefner's stews.
Most spoiling: dated an AA agent in college who made me a "V.I.T.". Used to fly student stand-by and got reserved first at airport.
Best Service: American's transatlantic first. They used to carve a prime rib with Russian or Iranian caviar.
Worse part of old days: had to fly with suit and tie.
I guess it might not be fair to the young turks, When I got mine, flying was actually fun. The stews were all young and cute. There was the "turtle club" and one always had a dinner/breakfast date if one wanted!
