I respectfully disagree with Premex. I would hope that USAirways somedays considers instituting pay-per-play elite levels. Why? I spent an average of $1.00+ per mile for my ticket. I think I am more important to the airline to USAirways than another Chairman's Preferred who pais $.10 cents a mile .. (I might become one of the cheapos myself next year as I shift my travel to leisure trips). I would expect to be treated better now as I am one of the people who keep the airline afloat than later when I fly 2000 miles for 100 bucks.

In fact, every letter I've written USAirways starts ... I've flown over 100 flights this year and spent over $30,000 this year on your airline.... I think it makes a difference in their eye vs I've flown over 100 flights this year and spent over $5,000 this year on your airline....

Just IMHO.
