Well, Tig,

I've been true to my word in "blowing" my MP miles.

Just booked 2 Bus Class tickets to PPT for Aug. Also booked a Bus Class ticket SYD-YYZ-SYD for Jul.

Have a few hundred thousand miles left so we'll have to see what to do with them...

Also booked bus class to LIS for next month.

If those "B"'s of flight attendants and mechanics stuff things up for all of us, well so be it, but at least I tried to do something.

Most people on this forum seem to be adopting the "Nero" approach (fiddle while it burns).

Hope I'm wrong, but I don't think so.
