IF it was not for my lovely miles I would say that all the US airlines currently in trouble deserve no better than to go out of business. They screwed up badly. They screwed their employees, they screwed their customers, they screwed the taxpayers, and now they should just RIP. In this country which builds beautiful 777s, 747s, 737s, etc. some airlines operate about the oldest fleets in the Western world, still with 727s and DC9s the dream of any aviation historian. While I love my miles I do not want to wait until the first carrier takes out the bathrooms on flights under 6 hours to accomodate more passengers. Even though, with no more drinks this would be a viable option
