Got to love being LA when stuff like this goes down.

And as far as drunken Box posts goes, yours was quite coherent. You need to drink more for your next one. We wouldn't have known it was a drunk post had you not told us.

Guess I won't inform them of how things operate at other airlines. Carriers like CO have enough elites already.

You could at least be somewhat charitable and steer them towards WN Rapid Rewards.

No need to. Mr. non-US elite is talking about flying WN, which he apparently does pretty often. He's also describing how he manages to contort his 400 pound body into the seat in such a way that they don't charge him for a second seat, and how he won't check in at one of their counters because they insist on charging him. :rolleyes: Another reason not to get involved in this conversation.

Is the helicopter pilot wearing only one glove? (Too soon?)

I just booked a ticket to visit my mother in Houston. After :rolleyes: about having to go "all the way" to Bush to pick me up, she made her final pitch for WN: you don't have to pay bag fees.

Guess their ad campaign is working. :rolleyes:

Do I have a shot at complaining about this? If they put points into peoples' accounts, they should stay there.

Rant over...
