BigEd... no problem. It may be in your view that we just like getting rammed up the butt with all this nonsense, but I assure you, we have other reasons as to why some of us stick with AC... some of it is based on convenience, corporate policies, the ease at which status can be accumulated at just 35K, flying out of small airports that are only serviced by AC regional carriers... etc. But your input is much appreciated.. and yes.. bon *courage*! ^
