Goodbye CO
Its funny, because I have every reason to want to fly CO and yet I find that their miles are virtually unredeemable. 25K and some change miles later , I am glad to have found the AMTRAK promo. Thank you AMTRAK

Bye-Bye 
You know the saying. Don't let the door hit ya' etc.......
One of life's questions.Why do people feel the need to say goodbye to an airline that they are leaving?

Another of life's questions. Why do others feel the need to gloat over a decrease in fellow passengers?
Especially since fewer passengers does not translate to more open seating.

Has YOUR airline screwed you over lately?

IMStill4Travel I dont know why you feel the need to reply.
you must admit that rewards can be diffucult to use. I was very partial to Co for years but I have now seen the light maybe someday you will also.
peace

FYI, I'm top tier at 3 airlines (CO,HP and US) also GOLD Comp'd at AA...the one I have had the least problems with has been CO. Some of you still can't get it through your heads that CO is actually a good fit for some of us. Of course YMMV.
And no...I won't admit that the reward availability is a problem unless I encounter it...why should I? I see that some others may have had trouble...but I find overall PLAT availibility to be OK for me. I usually book Standard F Tix and I'm fairly flexible.

When I said
IMStill4Travel responded
Well, yes, it does. Or did you think that if you were the only customer flying CO that you'd have the whole network of daily flights all to yourself?
Did you happen to notice that when fewer people were flying, CO cut their schedule? Just wondering...

Agreed, fewer paxs means fewer flights and/or more RJs and less or no F class, Plat or no you are nothing to me on an RJ.
