Given all the issues lately, we should do that anyways.

Let me rephrase that. If fares are cheaper on a route/time that I am unlikely to get an upgrade I would give my business to AAnother airline. Also, the sticker game makes it possible for golds to upgrade on AA.

Now, now Sir. Sir Winston retreated back to the Isles never forget out of Europe.:-: It was thereafter that he prevailed. I fully expect in the event of a retrograde movement, that you will be like Douglas MacArthur at Bataan, and "Shall Return"

Roll on Box!

Given that AA is the last hold-out on the instruments, don't you think it would be going way?

At this point it could be considered non-competitive as they would be the only ones doing it.

aloha box.

Just got back from the doc to get a 'script for my cold + flu shot + transcon in coach which turned into bronchitis. Canuck was nice enough to pick me up lunch since I'm now working from home.

So what's the result of the meeting of the minds in the other thread? Can I haz upgrade? Will ALCO be able to companion Q-up his pot belly pig?

Ah, ok. That makes more sense.

If I read correctly, UA softened up again on CR's: 1 per 10K BIS, max 2 per quarter.

I am going to stop reading at Ua forums, they seem to take channas words as gospel truth that Plats have 1% upgrades on CO.

I have over 65% for the year as silver/gold and over 75% overall in the last two years. I make plat for the first time whenever these CoCo DEQMs hit, but would have made plat for the first time anyway evenw without DEQM this year. I know the ranks are getting bloated, but it isn't like there are no upgrades out there.

PostWhore could be so much more than just Teh Box. We could have TOS-free Troll Feeding Zones, and Courts of :rolleyes:, where people could hurl all sorts of baseless accusations at each other, and the judges could add to or delete from post counts as necessary, amongst all sorts of other intriguing options.

That is an extremely generous description.

Indeed; I attribute it to my highly medicated and lack of sleep state.
