Spiff,

If we used as a qualification the following, "doesn't suck", what airline forum would survive?

1. Delta Skymiles program
2. New Delta Lounges
3. Delta upgrade percentages
4. US Airways Dividend Miles
5. United Mileage Plus
6. United Clubs
7. United upgrades
8. United Global First Class
9. The New America

The list goes on & on & on, while there is no end in sight. Why stop there, what about today's world does not suck, compared to the 1980s-90s? Everything from retail, banks, cable companies, etc., etc., etc., the list is endless.

Spiff, if you read much of what the forums are, it is about the diminishing nature of the services industries and how we are getting much less for more cash outlay.
