Come on.

it's one thing to ask for help here on how to game the system (ie, Around the World AP trips), it's another one to game the system to smash up potential goodwill. People wonder why AC doesn't break their back all the time --- it's because of people like this who feel overly entitled that they are ALWAYS RIGHT.

Give it a rest. Both sides were at fault here.
I see no shame in an individual using every tool at their disposal for exposing a big corporation's failure to honour their own promises. They should feel entitled to expect AC to honour their commitments. Sheesh.
