Northwest who will drop you in a minute if you fall below their guidelines

Anyone else get the feeling
J Mackin works for UA/AA?
I fly NW because they upgrade me on almost every flight for being an elite without paying a single cent. Period. UA/AA wouldn't offer this to me at the lower elite levels and that's why they don't get my business. There are many out there who agree and disagree, but people choose airlines for different reasons. Thus, just because NW doesn't offer me lifetime status, doesn't mean I'm going to run to UA/AA to get it.
