Tilton's gambit was well played, CO in another shotgun marrage. :td:

Friday through Sunday, professional development in economics education.

Airline
CO
Year to Date Elite Miles: 5,864
Year to Date Elite Points: 4

Percent attained via MR: 0%.

Goal: Retain *G.

Hotel
Hilton: I stay at Silver via AmEx; got about 30K in the bank.
SPG: I can haz Gold via promo thru 2011; may switch, may not.

I think with trees there is now place worse than around here. Hope you enjoy your trip

Looks better in PDX

Airline

CO
Year to Date Elite Miles: 0
Year to Date Elite Points: 0

Percent attained via MR: 0%.

Only one CO trip booked, and it's a reward with four out of six segments on US. :(

UA
Year to Date Elite Miles: 0
Year to Date Elite Points: 0

Percent attained via MR: 0%.

Goal: Hopefully someone gifts me 3P again. :(

Hotel
Marriott: Currently at 24 nights (including credit card) with five more booked to date. Anticipate another fifteen in personal travel; only requaling for plat if Mrs. Mackie gets into grad school and has to go to CLL for a few nights a week all summer.
SPG:Gold through 2011; likely to status match to Plat through 2012 in November if Marriott doesn't appear like it will pan out.

Yuk. Still remembered taking Micro Economics and Macro Economics at the same time and trying to will myself to class - but a whole weekend at this time of year:td::td:

Yeah. I don't think this is really good news at all.

No doubt, but would tilton actually merge with US?

Disagree. Even if the CO brand disappears, UA is on the upswing and offers several things that we at CO do not have. Chief among these is the presence of Airbus, which would force bocastephen to fly WN.

I think Tilton would likely merge with anyone who will give him a golden parachute payout.

Nice way to find the silver lining there, Mike. :D

If Tilton could merge with Redi-Mix Concrete, he would. He wants out in the worst way, and his people want him out even more.

I have never gone from wha?? to bwahahahah in a shorter period of time.

At least I put that debate to sleep in the other thread.

Haha. Well played. ^

Told you I've been working on my optimism. ^
