Thanks. It's just surreal. He's had a rough life and I'm sorry to see it end this way. I wish Plus1 was here (but Plus1, when you read this, I don't want you to feel bad about not being here).

Well I do. And I also feel bad for not realizing you'd post it here and I've been posting silly all night.

I love you.

Just scored an EUA on NW for 9/29 PHL-DTW on a Canadair 900. Every time I get one of these, I say it's going to be my last Northwelta flight ever but then I just keep booking them. I have a feeling I'll be in an F seat on NW on 10/24. :rolleyes: Certainly going to miss the sure-thing EUA's on NW and the sweet Worldclubs in DTW.

I guess you weren't so tired after all.

Good night box.

Technically elite upgrades for OnePass elites on NW flights are supposed to end as of October 1.

I've got a NW flight on October 2. I'm curious to see what happens.

And I'm with you on missing NW.

For me, unless I can hit 1K next year, I will be sticking to CO. :D

Why not just buy the $350 E+ access card (cheaper than even a Q-Up run) and continue crediting to CO?

That is really stupid. I'm all about supporting the speaking of English in places where other languages should not be expected, but this is really a global community, and I would think that there are non-US posters who have used FT to improve their English.

Without getting into the details of our moderator discussions let me say again that I do not think any of the folks here have anything to worry about and that there really is a reason for the decision that was made. And the current iteration is much better than it was. Plus, it is only for signatures so there is still plenty of opportunity for folks to learn English from FT.

They're being stingy with my 9/28 upgrade. I received a +6 day upgrade on the outbound but nothing on the return and there have already been a handful of other upgrades...
