Have you ever tried checking DL for their Saver Award, a couple of yrs ago almost any City Pairs you entered had them being offered. Along came Chap11 and now youd be Lucky to find it even on a 5am flight, its usually 50K for any type of free coach on DL anywhere anytime anydate. I can see CO copying that process, after all the EasyPass will be called Standard and CO will beable to simply say, Oh we HAVE Standard seats Available Mr Craz, but its 50k, its only the Saver Seats that are NOT available. But Standard is. SPIN if I ever heard it!

I just checked both CO and BA for a 1/1-1/10 trip to TLV, CO Q & M fare = $1234 ai, H = $1611 ai, BA in WT+ $1975 ai. SO BA is only $364 over the H and I get the needed Leg Room and back support, not to mention a much better Entertainment System then CO has.

I will admitt I Dread having to fly AA again Stateside even thou I have LifeTime Plat status with them being a 2MM and HATE the MD-80s Ok they are better then the RJs, and with ORD or DFW as the connecting Hubs that spells TROUBLE. Maybe BA Intl and JetBlue for Domestic flights
