Sapman, thanks for the reply.

Have been told on several occassions that it is 70,000 miles for 2 FC in Continental US and PR, but that Hawaii is 90,000 for two.

Moving miles into another program is the same problem as with TWA. The cost per award effectively doubles. You do not lose your equity miles with TWA, they just effectively lose half their value.

I too am concerned with their financial and operational viability. If they were taken over, my guess is the new owner would probably honor the miles, but would probably not extend the redemption time of the equity miles. This, of course, assumes that someone buys them as a going concern and they are not sold in pieces for their assets. If only assets are acquired, especially on a piecemeal basis, everyone's FF miles are probably worthless.

Thanks for your thoughts.
