What's the average length of time it's been taking (post 3/3/12) for your miles earned on Copa (CM) to post to your MileagePlus account? I'm closing in on the magic 15-day cooling off period, and I'm simply curious if it's typical for the miles to post promptly (or not).

FWIW, my tix were all purchased directly on Copa's website, using my MileagePlus number. My MP number showed up on all 4x boarding passes, all flights were coded and operated by Copa itself, and there weren't any irregular operations that might have affected things.

P.S. if you'll indulge me for a moment in a totally off-topic rant: The time it took from disembarking the jet bridge at JFK (CM #804) to the start of the baggage carousel was >30 minutes, followed a minute or two later by kettle-bags showing up. The time it took for the *A gold priority-tagged bags to make an appearance on the carousel was an additional ~15 minutes. At ~11:25 p.m., the terminal at JFK was empty, without any lines at passport control, so the wait for checked-baggage was a little frustrating and inexplicable. Whew! Thanks, I feel much better now for getting that off my chest.
