Diver858 OUT (drop microphone)

Now that AS is taking on WN intra-California, acquired VX, I now have alternatives to WN for ALL of my business travel, only have to deal with WN for the occasional leisure trip to LAS --> no more A-List.

Gone are the days having to line up like kindergartners going to the rest room to board a flight. With elite status on both AA and AS, I am able to pre-reserve an exit row seat, board early, enjoy the occasional first class upgrade, free same-day standbys and checked bags.

Can't say I will miss the occasional banter with low-information WN Kool-aid drinkers, wish you all the best in the future.

Sounds like you'll be happy with your new airlines. Good for you. Not sure why you felt the need to announce it.

+1. Odd for sure. The unnecessary snark at the end of the post was quiet classy, though.

Well don't you sound like a joy.

If you act like you sound when you travel, I'm sure we'll all be better off without you.

You know, we are adults here, and lots of us have been studying this stuff since the 80s. We can do the calculations in our heads.

Quite sure some of us are much MUCH smarter than you, and can perfectly well figure out what is in our best interest.

I might have used this (funny) title similarly if I was checking off the planet to say goodbye to the peeps here but this is just mean...

Not sure what's more sad, the desperate plea for attention by posting this thread, or the transparent insecurity displayed by an attempt at a insult on the way out the door.

Umm, no. You would be well-served by searching the site before making such an inaccurate guess.

I really don't care. It does not change the fact that he/she came off as a jerk. Besides I was just trying to provoke a response from the OP since I know he/she is still monitoring this thread despite the fact they said they were done.
