After recieving 2 SWU and 2 SSWU earlier this week (letter dated Dec 12th) I e-mailed the SE Desk (twice) with a copy to MB. Unfortunatly the response is "canned" and predictable. The certs are part of the 2006 program and can not be changed. I have today, specifically sent an e-mail directly to MB in the hopes of a more acceptable outcome. I won't bother reiterating my position as we are all in the same boat. After the reductions on SE benifits (i.e. IKK in Int J) this is akin to the proverbial "Last Straw". I just can't beleive they care so little about our business.

For what it is worth, I will post the reply from MB (or his office) if and when I get one.

On a related note, I welcome suggestions for an alternative to AC. I am based in YYZ with virtually no domestic travel, about 40% to the US (LAX, SJC, LAS, etc) and the rest international. Who would you pick???
