Man, you sound like almost exactly the kind of flyer CO is looking for. Someone willing to pay almost double the deeply discouted fare (OK, they really want the one willing to pay the full FC fare ).

With that in mind, it seems perverse that with the amount of flying you do you get stuck with us who fly deeply discouted tickets and also earn Silver (hey, I do a lot of leisure travel and the little business travel I do is for the state, so it's also stricktly deeply discounted advance purchase).

And to your credit again, you are not willing to try to find $200 trans-cons where CO does not make money, but you rack up miles / segments to move up to Gold.

Perhaps you are an anomaly, but it seems that something is broken with the CO system ..... Hey, why is everyone laughing? What did I say?
