Why the $300 or $400 charge?
Above and beyond the 25k and the cost of the ticket in the first place?
I bet NW will be next if this is the case.</font>
1. Because when CO put HoKeY into effect they found that people would actually pay a higher fare just to be able to upgrade! So they looked for a way to expand the revenue upgrades could produce, and this is what they came up with.
2. You bet yer bippy! The great unwashed masses love it! Those of us who know better have started taking our business elsewhere.
3. I think its 50/50 if NW will follow. They seem to have been making a lot more "customer-friendly" moves in the past year. Many more general bonus miles promos (on-line check-in, DTW connections). CO seems to have grown much more arrogant during the same time.
We'll see how CO responds when they don't win the Freddie this year. Have YOU voted?

Bad Gordon!
No Freddie for you!
