Talking Freddie Award Voting is Underway -- Are They Mad????

I just got this by email below. Does CO think they even have a shot at a Freddie? They are unquestionably the least competitive major carrier in the United States right now in terms of frequent flyer program.

Unlimited Elite upgrades is no big deal anymore (so many have matched), they're the only carrier with 50% EQM, reduction of F, etc. etc. etc., the list goes on.

Is their marketing so out of touch they actually think they can fly in on their blue carpet and win a Freddie based on a website that doesn't work half the time and some lousy award availability? This is un-freaking-believable...

Maybe they're just hoping they can drum up a few votes so they don't rank worst.
