Simmer Down Now!!!!
What's with all this hostility about the EUA's, particularly to other FTers? Come on! It's only upgrades here. I flew 25 years before riding in first class, and I can do it again. I won't be thrilled about it, but seriously, there are way more important things to get this worked up over. I know I'm going to get trashed over the "It's only upgrades" comment, but this isn't worth this petty back-biting and name calling that has been going on internally on this board.
Might I suggest a solution for which I'm certain to be angrily mocked by some furious people?
Fly NWA. NWA has had autoupgrades available for NWA ELites for some time now. Yet, I, as a CO silver, am batting 95% on NWA upgrades.
I don't think this is the end of the world. And I think anyone who does should spend more money on mental health care than on mileage runs.
