Alaska is demonstrating it's dogged determination to un-do most of what has made it unique in a good way throughout it's history. This likely won't end well, so assuming someone other than the interns are reading this board, are there specific suggestions you would offer for Alaska to regain it's mojo? They don't appear interested in any ideas that cost more than a nickel, so the cheaper, the better.

Here are a few from me:

- With award availability on international partners a major point of advertising, but with premium seats quite difficult to find, I'd love it if they'd just offer a reliable option for a premium seat even if it's more miles. The hunt and peck method is fine for standard awards, but given that miles accumulated are an outstanding liability for them, it would seem logical to have higher award levels for more widely available premium seats.
- Why not have higher luggage weight allowances for MVP Gold and 75k? This would match the majors, and be a welcome improvement.
- Reconsider the whole "saver" approach. Consider saver as a discount from mail, rather than having main be a premium, with less benefits to saver --- eg. no seat assignments, etc.

What other concrete suggestions do you have?
