FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

Hell no. One status for me, and it is *G via CO. I might as well give myself a fighting chance on lifetime miles (will clear 100K paid LFM next year...way too much nonrev growing up, and at 50K+ per annum the idea of hitting 1MM is plausible), so BD is no good for me. I know the rewards are cheap on BD, but if I'm going to engage in the pastime of frequent flying (in many cases flying to nowhere for me) I want to get some kind of longer-term benefit.

I agree!^:-:

I get to go to DC again tomorrow. That means I can go to the congressional hearings about the TSA thing. I have no idea if they'll be at all entertaining but I'm going.

Off to find tickets. I might end up on the US Shuttle. :eek:

Licenced yes, qualified no. You need a testing company to do that sort of theing. Your GC should have someone they use regularly for this

Just think of what kind of flex they'll get when it's fully loaded with passengers, cargo and fuel. :-:

"Was that the plane we saw when we were there?"
