haha.. was thinking the same thing. In most other forums, it would've been flamed in about 15 seconds.

Back on topic (or not), does anyone expect VX to start a true elite program at some point when their mileage program is matured? They seem so revenue focused that I can see it offering pluses and minuses. Certainly the main plus is incentivizing loyalty in pax. On the negative side, they would loose some revenue potentially on F/MCS paid upgrades.

What disappoints me is how long it takes to build up VX miles relative to their award levels. Then again, awards seem to be all over the place based on the few searches I've done, in terms of required miles.
