Cigarman...
thanks for arranging this meeting. I think everyone will appreciate it. I wish I had the chance to meet them last year before I decided to bail on CO completely. Perhaps a face-to-face meeting with management would have / could have calmed my anger and prevented me from eliminating them from my travel plans entirely...I used to sing their praises and convinced many people to start flying CO. Now, I am just the opposite and avoid htem like a plague...after five consecutive years of Platinum status and a couple of those with 125k+ miles, virtually all on CO. I'll keep my eyes on the thread here and if a date/time are set that are convenient for me, I may try to make it.

1. Yes, would enjoy a meeting w/CEO. Tour of what, though? Offices.... not such a big deal. Maybe we could meet in the cargo hold of a 777; that would be worth a special trip.
2. Already have plans to fly CO monthly from DCA-SEA for 2005.

Count me in...
1. YES
2. YES (more than one)
I just read the short article about Larry in the Dec. CO Magazine. Sounds like someone with a lot of integrity.

1. No
2. Yes I just bought two today but to be honest, I am very likely to switch to American starting in January because of this ridiculous EQM policy. I am flying Continental every week and not getting any status. My flights are required to be booked by a corporate travel agent and the last 3 have had an I or W leg so now I am not going to qualify for my first-ever Elite status for next year!
If I am not ever going to make Silver Elite despite flying 2x a week then why am I bothering, honestly? When I started this project for work, AA had a challenge going and I could have made GOLD with only 4 RTs. The only reason I tried for Continental silver was that the flights leave at 6:30am, and AA at 6am. Now I am regretting that decision, believe me. I would have made AA Gold last week but instead I am stuck with no status in middle seats every week on full flights, wondering if everyone on the #%^@# plane got a discount economy fare!
Sorry to rant but if you are meeting with the CEO I hope this topic is on the top of your list.

1) Interested, but very dependent on the dates. My schedule is very booked up through Mid-March.
2) Have a CO trip to SJU in Feb already ticketed. On a month-long cruise in January, so no air travelling there. Nothing more for the rest of 2004.
