You know what Uli in normal times I would totally agree with you. But these are not ordinary times, they are extraordinary times and the battles fought now will preserve the key elements of "the Game" of which you speak.

As to your partner comment, I would submit that any business relationship that treated its "Partners" like the airlines treat us would be short lived indeed. IMHO they view us as lambs to be led to slaughter. Witness their arrogance and disdain to their most valued customers the frequent flyer. Uli it was a game for me too.

Now it's a skirmish soon to be all out war.

Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights, don't give up the fight.
