I can't believe some of the stuff I'm reading here! NJDavid has been a long standing contributor to FlyerTalk...and yet relative newcomers are blasting him! And cigarman has been one of the most prolific and enlightening posters here! Yet people are telling these guys to leave??? Sorry, but I want them to stay...bigtime!!!

What is happening??? I know David is angry! He has a right to be angry!!! And so are a lot of people!!! CO changed their OP rules at the end of the year, after everyone has spent major $$$ on this airline for perceived benefits, that have suddenly been withdrawn!

It seems this thread just proves what NJDavid said in another thread...all too many Plats are taking an attitude of, "I'm still getting my upgrades, so what are you complaining about???"

Well, there are a lot more Silvers and Golds than Plats. Given, per capita, Plats give more busines to CO. But, what happens when you compare all business from Golds and Silvers vs. all Plats? I would bet that the Golds and Silvers give far more business to CO than all Plats combined, simply because of the sheer weight of their numbers!

And, what do you think will happen to CO if 100,000+ Golds and Silvers leave CO? How do you think that will impact your future upgrades?
