Only problem with being "entry level" elite is most act like the airline should worship them.

A close friend is a 1K and he and I did a few segments together and we sat near the podium and it was SO funny listening to people b&*@#& "I'm a PREMIER with your airline!"... he and i would just snicker (and hope they would hear us!)...

Premier *has* it's benefits, but it's still not even close to the respect and benefits you get as a 1K or Premier Exec.... most people say it's a different world once you cross that 50k mile threshold... I know for me, going from non-elite to instant 1P was the greatest thing ever...
