Do you think he's gotten away with it before?

I have a positive upgrade cert somewhere, I must have thrown it away.

You mean you HAD a positive upgrade cert.:p

He is asked to turn over the certificate and claims that CO told him to mail it in. :confused: That isn't our policy and never has been so the agent calls reservations help desk to see if they know more than we do. The ticket counter advises the customer that he must turn in the certificate or we would have to downgrade him back to his original class of service: Y. He storms off and now I get to deal with the problem, as the GA in charge of the flight.

Long story short, after much verbal abuse, holding his breath and jumping up and down he didn't get what he what he wanted. I did get him to hand over a certificate that expired in 2006! He departed sitting in coach.

There is more to this story but I don't feel comfortable posting it for the world to read. Let's just say the WECARE-2 has now been introduced to the customer, by me. :D

I'm guessing he's played this game more than once - and taken away a good upgrade from one of poor us!!!:mad:

His dentist said it would be easier to take them out now instead of later, when she knew she would have to bust his wisdom teeth to get them out.

I had all 4 of mine removed at once and the longest part of the procedure was getting the numbing shots.

Hope he feels better soon.


He has vicoden for pain but so far hasn't asked for any today.
I call dibs on the leftovers.

My mother and cruisr seem to think that they are going to the Mini-Do next week. Pity for them that they did not post to that effect.

I think he's done alot of things before and gotten away with it. It didn't work this time but he continued to do his song and dance for his return flights and every person bought it. That's what really got to me. :mad:

Yes he took an upgrade away from one person, on each of his two return flights. :td:

I've had to deal with cheats before - not fun, and in a big company so many people are busy half-butting their jobs that they get away with it.

ok in this case I hope WECARE does care....about the company and find some way to earmark this loser.

Get your EUAs legit by flying, but stop with the defrauding and all with certs :(

He has likely been doing this for years and was probably upset at finally getting caught.

I'd bet that whoever got the EUA after the seat opened up was happy!

Unfortunately, I will NOT be able to make it, so they can have my spots -- if I ever made it that far...

Can any of the Hilton people shed some light on something for me? I complained to Guest Assistance about my stay in AMS, got a letter from the GM. Rebutted something in the letter, no response. Just got email from the woman at Guest Assistance trying to pooh-pooh me and close the case. I'm thinking my next move should be to say that I did not get my concerns resolved to my satisfaction, as the GM did not return my follow-up email. Thoughts?

As someone who flies on certs, I'm thrilled when I do get the upgrade. I by no means expect it, even in these down times.
