FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

This is going to go away in TB2. I posted about it over in the B6 forum last night. They are going to change it so that you keep your points as long as you fly once a year, though the rest of the program isn't going to get any better so that isn't really all that much of a benefit.

Interesting. It's not enough to make me replace them as my Florida trip provider of choice, but still interesting. I finally have enough OP miles to consider something beyond a domestic ticket, so there's no way I'm moving my flying away from CO (or at least crediting to OP) until I get that redemption taken care of. I'm very interested to see what the LH/CO bilateral will look like, as something like FTL should be relatively easy for me to maintain between the occasional leisure trip and a Q-Up or two.

Oh, I forgot: how is TrueBlueInsider working out for the regulars over there? I haven't been in B6-land in quite some time.

Just got an email from my former client in Chicago. She is at a meeting in Osaka right now, and needs to requalify her UA Global Services status... so she is once again suggesting that I go on a MR with her. (Of course, me on CO, her on UA - we'll just have to find a common destination). LOL

I introduced her to FT and created a monster. Her husband can't believe what she's turned into... but we all understand :)

Ok, will note that. I will try to research this next wk. ;)

As for your existing CO polo -- I think you need to go to a T=shirt printing place that has the embroidery machine & see what they'll charge to custom embroider it for you. I have no doubt that it's possible, just don't know the details! :rolleyes:

I didn't think that fares that fit the definition of an MR were worth doing to get or retain GS. Isn't it something like 50K full fare miles?

Very cute :p-- I think the 'trailing' FT spouses that come to Do's -- do so to assure that the FT community is not a figment of said spouses' imaginations, aside from seeing that the fellow FTers are not ax-wielding maniacs!:rolleyes:;)

Good morning box. I am about to head out to the ATL airport to blow 21$ worth of meal vouchers.

Oh... she isn't above buying a J ticket to achieve her ultimate goal...

maybe -- obviously I am not the body that makes those determinations! You'd need to consult the 'fortune' guru!;) So, what ever happened to the possible YVR work gig that you were considering? Not do-able?

I've been having problems with Toastmasters for years with simular name. One other member has a simular first name but an "o" instead of and "e" and a longer version of my last name and he looks and sounds like Woody Allan (the person on the right in this photo )and I look like Peter Brady. So why do people constantly confuse us?

I don't have that problem -- not many people w/a similar name to mine -- at least that I know of!:p Maybe you need to use your middle initial or something! Or just go by 'OT'!:D:)

This is getting bad (ie. addiction to B:rolleyes:X) -- need to get some much done before leaving for DC t'morrow!:confused::eek::rolleyes:

At least it's sunny outside right now!

Are you actually traveling anywhere today -- or just going for lunch? :D;)

That will be one of my first stops there, whenever I go.

That is super cool. Totally makes me want to sail in Scotland.

KVS is officially dangerous! I find myself checking various routes several times a day which leads to me considering multiple changes to our honeymoon routing.

I can definitely see how ALCO got hooked on making so many changes... :D
