As a Gold, post EUA, 0 for 3 on EWR-LAX. Got LAX-HNL-GUM-CNS round trip upgrades with miles. On LAX-EWR-HKG, got the mileage upgrade going out, failed to get either segment, even with miles, on the return.

Well, it's starting to become very plain that CO doesn't intend on upgrading me very much any more! (I was 6 for 6 prior to EUA.)As someone else said, it looks like CO is becoming increasingly divided into two groups of flyers...Platinums and non-Platinums. CO seems to be much more interested today in the 75K miles a year flyer who buys full-fare tickets.

And, since I'm beginning to accept the fact that, with my travel patterns, I'm just not going to be upgraded that often...either by EUA or miles. So, if I'm going to be relegated to Clampett Class, I might as well get a 35 inch pitch seat (very important for my 6'1" 220 lb. frame), a better (albeit marginally) meal, and an airline with a decent route system and partnership alliance.

CO's BizFirst is the finest BizClass seat going...it blows away the competition! And the bonuses lately have been awesome! Yet, all those miles don't do much good if you can't use them! And the superiority of BizFirst means nothing from a 31" pitch seat in the back!
