I'm still most impressed with my 2007, when I earned around 110,000 EQMs on CO, with the majority of the flights 800 miles or less, and about 40% were flights that were shorter than the 500 mile minimum. And, I had quite a few 50% EQM fares in there as well. That was the year I could have been nearly Platinum off of ERJ/turboprop flying alone.

Only about 12 of those. Though, it could have been the same one over and over. :confused:

I think he's on the road this week, but several of us have his cell number. I doubt he'd be perturbed.

Was it Air Astana that sacrifices goats to their 757s?

Good points. From what I've read so far it seems like DL wants a stake but also wants some control. I guess we'll have to see how it plays out before we know what it means for the customers.

Shouldnt DL be more concerned about keeping their own airline afloat?

Why would that matter, when you could redeem the reward on any of the Star carriers?

He is indeed on the road but would be happy to take some time out of his vacation to help a fellow boxer achieve ZFV nirvana. Brit, I'll give you a call in a few minutes.

ALCO I'm considering a status match to Air Astana Gold after your creative use of your Air Astana card in DC. :D

Yes, that was outstanding.

It appears that the 777 IAH-EWR is back on the schedule in early October. ^

They're the world's largest global airline. They're too big to fail. (:rolleyes:)
