<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Which of your heroes will you turn on next? Mike Harris? George W.? Ronald Reagan? Rambo?</font>
Mike Harris announced new secuirty measures and tax cuts yesterday. He's obviously doing a much better job at handling the current situation than our idiot Prime Minister. I support him 100%.
George W. has done a good job so far, though I wish he'd hurry up with the military action. I support him 100%.
Ronald Reagan was one of the US' best presidents! I have no reason to turn on my #1 political hero.
Rambo? You gotta be kidding!

Yes, and quite frankly I like the way I am. I wouldn't want to become one of those arrogant pr**ks that think they're God's gift to the airline industry</font>

I am kinda joking. It's just funny that you two guys always seem to post concurrently. Somehow I envision you two joined at the hip.
I guess you find being compared to FlyerAl quite insulting. My apologies - that was a pretty low blow.

This topic digressed somewhat (I hope I'm not stating the obvious).
Did you have any luck during your trip? Any thoughts on my tact? (or my coupon offer, even though it is somewhat offside on this forum)?

Give me a break. Has it ever occurred to you that maybe it's the "premium" customers who are the real burden on the airlines?
Every airline employee I know prefers dealing with the "micro-budget" flyers over the "premium" flyers because they tend to be less arrogant, less demanding, less self-righteous, and less likely to attempt to rip-off the airline.

I know from my own personal experiences sitting in F with my $200 "budget" ticket that the "premium" pax sitting next to me (I could always tell they're "premuim" by the boarding pass) is more likely to be unfriendly, demanding, grumpy, arrogant, rude, annoying, and complain complain complain!

Think about it.

Um, don't take this personally, but maybe they were grumpy and upset over where they were sitting - ?

I agree with AB. I always pay full J, and am irritated when cheapskates get the upgrades, and expect the premium service. Contrary to the opinion here, it is the upgrade pax, IMHO, that are the demanding arrogant ones.
AC has a real dilema, they cannot afford premium sevice when they give it away. They have been forced to cheapen it to the point that it is no longer worth it.
