Good report and well written. Impressed. I can learn so much from these reports it is not even funny and I do hope that the airline execs in the Ivory Towers are reading these.

Sorry about your losing Gold but then was surprised that they had issued you the "Platinum challenge" as you usually get one shot at the brass ring .

They should have just automatically extended your status a la September 11th. I am afraid to fly, etc. It works. For my dad and a few others, it is true.

As for AA MRTC, yes, I think AA has the best coach product in the world. The seat is 90%, the rest, whatever. I can BMO/BYO.

Just curious, if you don't mind my asking and wondering if there is a trip report about this. Why the fuming with Untied? I don't care for them. Their Sh*ttle by Untied here in California drove the masses away, it was essentially Southwest in UA uniforms and attitude. I would love to hear more about that, if you don't mind. thanks.
