While I can emphasize with your frustration, I have to comment that the bulk of "enhancements" you cite have been in practice for a year or even longer. I don't know about your flights, but mine haven't been empty or even lacking a herd of elites rushing the gate. Other than group theapy, what point are you trying to make beyond the many threads where we have discussed each of these bullet points ad nauseum?

Welcome to flying any airline in 2005. They hey-days are long gone.
