Thanks for the welcome. I've been reading the site for well over a year, just finally got around to signing up and posting.

AZ Travels the World sums up my thoughts nicely. This is the least I've flown in a year since I began working for a living 10 years ago and I'll still fly over 100K miles this year. America West needs to make a decision, either they want people like me or not. I'm fine with whatever decision they make but I'll be buying tickets from the airline that benefits me the most. I spend too much time in the air to not treat that way. I'm really hoping that chose to treat their top flyers like people that spend a ton of time in the air but if not, so be it. That's why I flew Delta for almost 7 years every week.

BTW, great site and always interesting info here. Although the regular people don't know me, I know you since I've been reading the site so long. You've all been a great help.
