Rudi, I'll take a Rado instead of swiss chocolate. OK?

expensive tastes, jaws43... I like you.

Rado IS (whatever your president guesses about this word) a SWISS-watch (belongs to Mr Hayek's SMH as do Swatch, Omega, Blancpain, Tissot etc., is main Sponsor of the men's ATP tennis-tour and it's USP="unique selling proposition" is the non or hard-scratchable surface).

My friends say (please Mr Hayek don't sue me): "Rado is an industrial "mass"-product, not handmade at all. As all?/many? Swiss products Rado is overprized".

Again my friends say: "If you are going for the high-prized watches, for a lifetime, go for the free upgrade, go for handmade swiss-watches (if it has to be one out of Mr. Hayek's brand collection, go for Blancpain which are about in the same prize-range as Rado)".

Well then, Rudi, you convinced me, I'm sold! Send the Blancpain instead of the Rado.

jaws43, please email your postal-address.

or, jaws43, may be you can meet me at the Interbeverage-convention starting this monday (till wednesday) in Houston TX and I will SHOW you the blancpain.

I'll be there.

He said 'show', not 'give', jaws43. Perhaps you should take some Blue Bell with you, & while he is eating it, amazed by how wonderful it is, you can make off with the watch. Swiss generosity has to end somewhere.

MEOW!!! I thought we were talking about complaint letters, not watches and Blue Bell
icecream!

I still did not get a response to my complaint letter to UA about the late mileage
statements and the missing upgrade certificates. (I did get soem fine service
from customer relations who apologized that
I did not get this, or notification that I
became PremEx again!)

But I just sent another complaint letter:
The staff on the flight (DEN-SAN) has the
most sour flight crew aboard. No smiles, no
prompt service (I ended up in coach because
all the seats in First were taken by "revenue
tickets -- guessing paid first class or UA
flight crew.) ALso when I asked for little
ice in my cup of coke... NO CUP... Had to drink it out of the can.

Maybe they were depressed their Padres lost.
BUt everyone seemed in a FOUL mood.

ON the other hand -- the First Class crew from SAN-DEN was singing (One flight attendant said he had his Coca Cola and he's ready to go at the ungodly hour of 6:30am, the other wore a happy face button) and DEN-EWR (the two were especially nice, even
more when I offered to move so this couple
can sit together.)

It's tough to be HAPPY all the time, but
as flyers in coach or First or SUperElite,
they should try to be a little cordial at
best. CATMAN
