I agree with you, their corp culture is not geared towards road warriors, especially on transpac routes. They are geared towards leisure flyers and seem to be going after tour groups.

I realized this a long time ago for other reasons (2.5 hour MCT imposed on flyers when returning from a transpac in HNL with no flexibility on changing to an earlier i/i flight without paying $$$ .. I even wrote to them about it and got back essentially an unapologetic response showing they didn't understand the issue at all for people that can get through imm/customs in 10 minutes) and haven't flown a transpac with them since then.

Why are you sticking with them? Their FF program kind of sucks anyway.

Do you take the miles or the bag credit at Foodland? Do you think the 3 miles are worth more than 5 cents? I take the miles, but I know the cash would (arguably) be the better deal. It's close I suppose. I feel good if I can get 1 cent a mile out of my HA miles.
