A question: Has anyone here ever seen anyone over the age of, say 13 or 14, mistake the word "no" for the word "know"?

Kid, stop rummaging through your father's Elite kit and go do your homework,or-- it's a nice day-- maybe play outside? (preferably in the traffic.)

And if you are over 14 years old, your pedants are wasting a lot of cash on your edumacation.

Can you supersize that for me?

Sorry I turned down your offer to consult for Infinite Airways. I still have your correspondence on that issue though, if you would like me to post it here.

Also, lets not go into some of the stuff you tried to pull in chat ref. US Airways stock manipulation. The SEC would love to talk to you about that.

This forum is not an appropriate place to discuss my professional activities, and especially not by you.

If I may interrupt this conversation. I used to fly AA alot but no more, so I would like to know what Plats now get as upgrade certs, and what the rules are? Anyone care to spell it out for me. Do any upgrades work on other OneWorld carriers or strictly AA metal?

Once you reach platinum status, you get 4 x 500 mile upgrades for each 10,000 flight miles. These are actual flight miles (and do not include any of the bonuses attached to the status). This is the same for Gold and Executive Platinum.

You may request your upgrade at the time of purchase. Platinums are then upgrades (space available, of course) at 72 hours prior to flight time. Gold at 24 hours. Executive Platinum at 100 hours.

I just saw your other post, are you thinking of defecting from AC? If so, it goes:

Gold -> Platinum -> Executive Platinum

in terms of flight miles

25,000 -> 50,000 -> 100,000

And in terms of flight segments...

30>60>You're S.O.L.

Yes, I have been thinking of defecting from AC. Makes no sense to go with *A, so I wondered about AA and 1W. I am an AC SE which I think = AA EXPA, ie 100k status miles/yr.

At AC, I get upgrades now at 7 days but they play with the C loads and it is a lottery but beats 100 hrs.

Of all the US carriers, AA has best service out of Canada. But I need to know if 1W offers upgrades to AA ExPa?

Also, any advice if AA would give me same status I have now. UA is apparently a now, but I would think 1W would be more open.

As far as I understand AA in Canada, for Canadians will offer Gold and Platinum levels at the same thresholds AC offers them. This way you'd get Platinum at 35.000 flown miles and Gold at (I don't recall the exact number)...

Do you mean they would NOT give an SE with 100k/yr the equilivant, which is EXP???

I believe you meant to say "Once you reach Gold status, you get 4 x 500 mile upgrades for each 10,000 flights miles." When you start with no status, every mile past 25,000 (or 30 segments) goes towards earned upgrades.

AA will almost NEVER comp EXP. But PLT will more than tide you over while qualifying.

What are you talking about..... First of all I for one, am not a child. Nor do I want to attack people and clutter flyertalk with more bull****. This place should be called flyertrash soon. If you would like for me to prove that I am not a minor, I am willing to buy you lunch. email me or post a friendly reply.

no eres el mismo cara de v.... que estabas defendiendo a EXP@15.
You're something else, proudcoelite, fly co(how come I haven't this handle for a while), EXP@15.
Sure, lunch ! This reminds me of another of your posts where you tell FT's to meet you at the MIA Admirals Club and call for ROBERT.. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif jajaja...

How come nothing is being done to resolve this issue regarding JAG posting with different handles ????
