CO 1E -- just got a chuckle out of your 777 thread post...soviet era aircraft, hehe.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah, uh...too many FTers are hating the player and should be hating the game instead. (I hate hiphop...why I wrote that I'll never really know.)

I personally don't mind flying WN from time to time. They have a very consistent product and though a few of the thousands of FAs in the system clown around, most are simply just friendly. But that's just me.

Definitely, and I wish them continued success so that my matched fares keep coming.

They serve a great purpose for me going north/south in Cali and, in this case, jumping over to Vegas.

I also use them going to Chicago as I would rather avoid ORD if I can help it.

+1.

Speaking of which, are we giving up on the Stan DO given the *A DO in Nov? Or is it going to be postponed?

And these days they look like luxury compared to Spirit or others.

Question for you all, now that DL is flying to SYD there's a Skyteam option down there that doesn't involve connecting in GUM. Once we switch to *A what are our economy class options prior to the arrival of the CO 787s?

I know there's UA flying their planes without AVOD or in-seat power. That E+ seat may have marginally more legroom but 14 hours is still a long time to sleep and read. Any other options?

Good question - I was just wondering that myself. There has not been much discussion of it during the last three or four months, so I wonder whether interest, at least for September, is dropping off. Given the *A DO in November and other heavy international travel plans this summer and fall, I likely would not be able to make it to the Stans do if it is still held in September.

There are many more options if one is willing to connect in Asia (TG, SQ, OZ).

No can do for me this fall as well.

I feel for this GA. He was doing his job correctly, although he should have been much more polite in his refusal. Every day and on every flight GAs are asked to upgrade someone for some reason other than status. It gets old really quick. You also get "well I was upgraded on the last flight so you can do it on this one" from select "snotty" customers that refuse to understand that you will not give away the seat "just because it's empty".

This area is a real Catch-22. As I explained it to one dissatisfied customer, I don't looking for people in the airport to fly for free when we have open Y seats.

Are you talking about revenue or reward?

Revenue, there are lots of options with SQ, NH, OZ, TG. If you're talking revenue, we'll have to see how the reward charts pan out. For instance, UA does not allow you to go to Australia or New Zealand via Asia in their reward charts.

Does anyone else think that this CO offer is kind of odd? Is this supposed to be a stab at US?
