In truth, we are an airlines least expensive customers. Since FTers know the system, we don't need to waste UA's resources "helping" us to figure stuff out. We spend less time on the phone and know what we want, when we want it.Heck, the airlines should just give all FTers a 15% across the board discount. Ha!

I'm a prime example of why airlines shouldn't hate FT... I've flown over 37,000 miles that I wouldn't have flown this year because this community has inspired me to fly to a higher status. (and earn a free to trip on CX to HNL,AUK,MEL,HNL)

Last week I flew out of DCA. As I was going through the screening process, the TSA agent seemed to take a very close look at my FT luggage tag.
It was the first time I got nervous going through the screening.
I was about to say that I've never participated in TSA bashing on these boards when the gal said to me, 'have a nice day.'

Is there anyone out there that actually wears these T-shirts ??
