*Sigh*

I'm CO Silver - I usually fall back to NW for those times I need to fly a carrier out of protest against the ridiculous proliferation of the dreaded RJ on 2+ hour flights (e.g. EWR-MCI) at over-ridiculous prices. So NW works out well for those trips to the midwest - frankly I can't stand CRJs/ERJs. So now they roll out Roach Choice and make the benefit of avoiding CRJs/ERJs more difficult (exit rows and a chance at an upgrade). The good news - Roach Choice didn't affect me on today's LGA-MSP-MCI-MSP-LGA bookings for next week - nobody is in the Exit rows anyway -

But I have a hard time reconciling which protest to keep up with...
The no ERJ/CRJ longer than 2 hour protest
or the Roach Choice protest
or the CO 735 FC protest
or the DL no EUA protest
or the 50% EQM protest

Maybe it's time to go UA. Damn we're screwed.

I'm nervous for the summer - I'm trying to plan a vacation to the northern plains and I'm pretty much hostage to NW - and damn do they know it.
