Very interesting stories and it confirms the many rumors I have been hearing lately. I heard the CO Marketing Dept whizzos are coming out with a brand new newbie program. Get ready for the BRAND NEW Enhanced Privilege Pack Program (EPP) attractively priced at $199.00 and eliminating these tired unexciting unwanted undesired features of the old PP program such as:

- Six One-Segment Continental Space-Available Upgrades, valid with any published adult fare

- One $99 Companion Ticket certificate

- Two complimentary visits to a Presidents Club location for you and a guest

- Hotel upgrades, car rental discounts and more

The only EPP feature will be two (2) HoKeY Certs (O/W) for the "HoKeY FaReS" upgrade-lottery. Tell the CO reservation expert you will be using a HoKeY Cert and book your intl flight (incl HI) with a H, K or Y fare. Have them deduct 40,000 ff miles from your account immediately (hey newbies, the CO Marketing Dept wrote the rules). Anxiously await a B/F confirmation but remember the 30 day rule and the 72 hr rule still apply.

If you get a B/F seat, well it was just a few dollas (and ff miles) extra. Hey, no big deal for a B/F seat sez the CO Marketing Dept. If you dont get the B/F upgrade, you only blew $400-$1200, but you had a really good time (hey, just like Vegas, right?) and they will give you a couple of ff miles to add to your account and play again. Any questions?
