The lack of EFD still stings. CO is still using it for training I believe. I live very close and just the other evening and saw a CO 737 (I believe..definitely not an RJ) take off from there. It was way too loud to have taken off from HOU.
I haven't bought a ticket on CO since I heard that it was being closed. I had only made gold by then for 2005...down from plat... but it matters little because I have no intention at this time of going back to CO. I'm on UA now...was comped to Prem Exec status and will earn 1K status by the end of the month. I don't miss CO but I do miss CO and EFD. I figured if I would be driving to IAH I would be earning 100 percent EQM on every flight, no matter how I bought it. Now of course CO is the lone ranger out there in penalizing low fare flyers with regards to elite status.
