I am only 20 years old and a full time student and am just glad that I could attain the rank so young. I am all for eliminating a status that doesn't offer very much if that solution gives the best result. Secondly, I opted out of boarding early on the flight because there were some many people in line and I rarely travel with a carry-on. I would just like the ranks to have more value, make it worth working for, not being gotten from shortcuts.
