When I was politely informed of the desire to have my non full fare a** removed from the vaunted rolls of elite status (I was a PLAT at the time of the EQM changes, I made the choice to go where I might be welcome.
I just went PLAT with W/P last week and have not flown CO since I received the notice to get lost!
I know there are those who will say "good ridence, you POX on the Holy Elite Rolls." Fine, I'm estatic that CO doesn't need my $3000-$4000 business each year! NWA has accepted me as I am, a passenger who doesn't have the fiscal ability to pay top dollar, but is loyal.
Loyality, a trait CO certainly does not want to be a two-way street.
Oh well, I'll sit in First, be greeted with a smile, and treated like someone they want back.
Hope you resolve your issue and make the best decision for you, not Gordo.
