I also heard the same thing from aadvantage this week. It was good to hear since I was really starting to lose sleep and this is getting a bit outrageous.

I will miss short hops stl-mci, stl-mke that gained me 1000 miles. I will also miss the nice people who always could help me get what I needed done.
I will not miss the cranky people at STL manning the STL-LGW flight and the JFK ticketing agents.
I will miss the marvelous women (always?) who were my angels in CDG and DCA Ambassador's Clubs.
sigh.
