You wouldn't need the pda site if the GA's and the FA's were trained correctly and was told if caught doing illegal upgrades you will be terminated.

I disagree: I've never been 'wronged' on an upgrade that I'm aware of. However, I LOVE the PDA site. I know where I stand in relation to an upgrade and I can also see if I should bother putting a companion on the standby list as my Plat guest.

Go on the the main forums and see how many complaints about FA's upgrading non-revs with proven facts.

Also the stock price of CO has been sinking like the titanic which is ALSO a FACT. Case close!

1. While there are a lot of complaints about upgrade issues, I'd say it's small overall. Granted, even if it's 0.1%, it's too high, but I don't think it's a major issue with CO.

2. Almost every stock has been sinking horribly lately... CO is not immune, nor are others in the travel industry, or chemical industry, or etc, etc.

He was on my flight 2 years ago. IAH - SNA. He was in seat 5C. I noticed that he went out of his way to talk with as many people on the plane. To get their feedback and what not.

I dont need nothing adjusted. Go on the the main forums and see how many complaints about FA's upgrading non-revs with proven facts. Also as to my attitude, it's none of your business. Stick to the issue! I am only pointing out facts that are proven! Unless you can disprove all those topics about FA's upgrading non-revs before qualified elites then you should adjust your own attitude before adjusting mine's. Also the stock price of CO has been sinking like the titanic which is ALSO a FACT. Case close!

You strike as one of the people that is always right and never wrong. In your senseless rant, which you still do not have the ability to distinguish a flight attendant and a gate agent (flight attendants don't do upgrades, gate agents do), you completely ignored the main part of my post which is where I stated I will upgrade you if you are on the list and a F seat is empty and the gate agent shut the door prematurely. Not that you said thank you, but you're welcome.

Is English your native tongue?

The 'issues' you spout are nothing more than unsubstantiated drivel that you try to pass off as reasonable evidence as to why CO's financial performance is subpar.

Please demonstrate to me the proven, as you say, causal relationship between an anecdotal example of slightly deviant GA behavior (that happened to be caught by a FT'er) and CO's declining RASM situation. I can't seem to find it in your post(s).

+1... February 4, 2009 IAH-FLL. Sat in 1E, he was in 3E. He worked a good portion of the flight speaking with the flight attendants, pilots, pax, etc (I did NOT chat him up b/c I knew we'd see him at the DO IV and left him alone). However really I admired his accessibility to his team - and whether contrived or not, his apparent dedication.

+1 - I was on a late evening flight from IAH to ORD with Larry and few others from CO in F. They discussed what looked to be a presentation and spent sometime with the FAs. He stayed behind and thanked the F pax as we deplaned then came off after us. I am guessing he may have been up here to meet with Glenn.
