I tend to agree they have done some good things, it is just they try to over market it, so the good is lost in the noise.

Wouldn't the ability to get a comp upgrade on an award ticket be an enhancement?

nfg05 Sep 22, 2009 6:15 pm

how about waved partner fee for awards for all members and waived direct ticketing charge for GM+? The changes aren't ALL bad and at least we get free upgrades on any fare...

I guess for SM members, WP elites didn't have that one taken away only to be returned at the DM level.

(I know you're giving some good natured kidding, but you'd be surprised at how many here view a factual comment such as mine as whining)

When they actually implement this I will consider it an enhancement. Right now its just a promise.

I can't properly diagram your factual comment sentence so it's over my head. :D :D :D

Maybe literally true, as NW had no cocktail mix. But if you broaden it to highballs the downgrading of gin from Tanqueray to Seagrams more than offsets the dubious pleasure of sickly mixes. And we also lost the Courvoisier VSOP in domestic F, so in my view both the best drink options are history.

For those of us who fly routes which routinely have UPG lists >40-50, it is utterly and completely useless. So...not for me (and a lot of others).

LOL was that chart a joke?

Enjoy the new uniforms, and new signs? ... who cares about the signs?

I guess you will need to enjoy the new drink selection since you will be in the back of the bus (paid fare) since there are no resonable rewards, rarely any upgrades, and no perkchoice.

lol...new signs and uniforms.:rolleyes:
