Actually, for the next 14 months!

I agree - go for it. Especially as a MSP flier. I can tell you first hand that my experience w/NW on all levels improved significantly when I went from GE to PE. Personally, based on my GE experience (not good), if I ever drop to GE again, I'll be looking to switch carriers. Granted, that is mainly because I fly heavy PE routes for 90%+ of my travel. Not that I'd get FC more often on another carrier, but their Y product is better.
