Burn and Bail...NOT!

I too think some of you might be taking actions too soon to bail. Most airlines haven't announced plans for 2005 yet, and it seems probable that devaluation of miles may be forthcoming for the others, if not by bankruptcy, then by adjustments to its costs. If it doesn't happen this year, it might happen the next. Others will eventually make their adjustments. True, mileage required for some of your dreams might be increasing, but so is the cost of travel.

I'm staying on board Northwest.
