Thank you, and yes I did. Found out just a few minutes ago that I might have to go from graduation to a funeral. :( The wife of my mentor (the guy who talked me into walking in the first place, and who is basically a counselor/ad hoc shrink/surrogate father) died overnight. I got hooked up with him as a result of the wife, who was on a group trip my mother was running back in about 1991-92. Her travel agency partnered with dominant local radio station's morning show to go on a Mets west cost swing trip, and I went on two of them. Her surviving sister is an unabashed Darryl Strawberry fan, and I still remember her buying a Gartland statue of Straw on that trip.

It's a designation placed in the records of persons who contribute the most to CO's bottom line. IIRC, the list of CO*s is updated quarterly. AFAIK, there are no tangible, published benefits to being a CO*. A GA or FA might be exceptionally courteous to you if they see CO* on the manifest. However, It's simply a label that assists CO with revenue monitoring.

I was CO * and noticed it dissapeared from the manifest, the quarterly thing explains that.
Never got anything special

That sucks, Mike. I bet he's very proud knowing what you accomplished.

It's all good, we are all here to learn. Some of us just to learn how to :rolleyes:

Sorry to hear that, CM. :(

Thanks, fellas. He's plenty proud, but it's sadly ironic that he can't attend the event as a guest that he pushed me to participate in. Burying your wife outranks pretty much anything, so I can't say that I'm upset in the least over his non-attendance.

AT MCO, they have the readers so that your info is shown, and your CO* designation pops right at you. I've had FAs tell me a couple of times and sometimes there is a look of shock on a GAs face, especially when traveling with BL JR. My 4th quarter revenue is not super high, so I think I'll probably fall off. BR and CX got my Asia trips and I have not been buying Y ups domestically this quarter. I have noticed some small benefits of it, but it's nothing like UA's. And yes, most of it all it means I am spending way too much with CO!

My friend that works for Miss. Universe asked me a question about his corporate AMEX and since I only have a HHAMEX I have no idea how to answer him. Could you guys/girls help? His question is below.

I use a corporate AMEX card and have a corporate AMEX purchasing card. Are there any programs I should enroll in to get miles on company charges?

Anglo Large Clawed Otter Oct 8, 2008 12:50 pm

Does anyone know if LAX-GRU on KE is bookable with CO miles?

belynch Oct 8, 2008 12:52 pm

Sorry to hear Mike.

I am sick. Very, very sick. I just bought the following itinerary in F in a desperate attempt to renew my UA status next year: ATL-PHL-CLT-IAH. It's all on US. I could have flown it all on UA for about the same price. But I didn't because this gets me new routes and my first A-321.

I need help.

ssullivan Oct 8, 2008 12:55 pm

Sorry to hear that Mike.

Wow. Just. Wow.
