"IAV8":

You said that you are siding with TWA on eliminating the equity awards. You said that all carriers have done this, so it is ok for TWA to do so also. Actually, that is not a true statement. The other carriers never (to my knowledge) said that a specific award chart was available "forever" and then yanked it later. It is one thing to change the rules of the program (as all carriers can do) and another thing to say that a certain set of miles are good forever, and pull that promise. I don't get it - e.g., why TWA is doing something which will enrage their best customers. I too am a 1,500,000+ TWA FFB'r, who does not feel good about TWA now.

I am particularly concerned as I have tried to cash in my equity miles for travel during the next four months to Europe, only to be told that the seats are already sold out in the free category. They force us to use the miles, and then do not provide the seats to do so.
