A great listen even if all of my questions weren't answered ;)!!!! ^

You forgot to mention the white van in Hoboken, that is where the focus groups test the new meals at mealtime :D

It was a good interview -- thanks to the guys for setting it up.
And thanks to Scott for providing some substantive answers and frank views on what they do and don't know. Looking forward to the expanded online partner rewards. It's a relatively cheap enhancement that dramatically increases the value of miles for reasonably savvy travelers. |
I can not get the audio to play. Do you need to register to be able to play the audio? If so, I guess I will skip it.

No. It's just an mp3 download.
When I click on the link - I get a discussions page. Where do you click for the download. Clicking on various links does not appear to work? Right click and saving as target captured the file. |

That said, CO is extremely tight with its own availability, so they have much to gain by having partners up online. After all, what would the reward calendar look like if only CO metal were available? ;)

Depends on when you are trying to book. As noted in the interview many more seats open up closer to departure (and not necessarily within 6 weeks but even at the 6 months-ish window) so it can be gamed a bit.
Chances of EWR-Europe opening in BF = Fair to Good Chances of SFO-EWR opening up in F = Near Zero Chances of a matching SFO-EWR-Europe opening up in F/BF = Even Closer to Zero This is another one of those examples where CO works well for people in hubs, but for non-hub dwellers, CO doesn't always work out so well. |
He gave a long-winded answer about Starnet blocking, an answer that, to be honest, made me pause.
Sure, there are no Starblocking plans - FOR NOW. But who knows what the future will bring. Sorry to be a killjoy. |

What scares me is the idea that they'll have the redemption levels 'high enough' that it won't be necessary. Yikes! UA redemption levels are relatively high and they do starnet blocking. What might CO levels need to be not to need it?? :eek:
Then again, this is the airline that brought you the more than doubling in price of a QF F award last year.. |

Fantastic interview! Thanks CO Insider and fozz!
I've had the turkey dog a couple of times now and my only qualm is with CO Insider suggesting that it is somehow related to a kolache. When FAs starting handing them out saying "they're like kolaches", I stop telling people I'm Czech. :p :D |
