Let me get this straight: CO economy seats are terrible and you never get upgraded nor can you ever get award space, yet you people over here on this board are fanatically loyal to CO while actively dissuading new people from flying CO as top tier elites.

If there are no upgrades, no award seats, and no leg room, most rational humans would conclude that Continental sucked as an airline one chose to fly. So...why do you fly them? And why do you like them? Are your $cientology or Mormon handlers forcing you to fly this airline?

I swear, it seems almost as if you don't want new top tier elites to fly "your" airline because of competition or something. Come on, Pod People, help a man out here with a little more information!
