All I really wanted was status on a "big" airline

TWA and AA planes are not integrated into one fleet at this point. AA planes are still operated by AA, TWA planes are still operated by TWA planes.

Unless your flight was in the 2600-3200 range, you were on an AA aircraft.

ClueByFour-

Good report and well written. Impressed. I can learn so much from these reports it is not even funny and I do hope that the airline execs in the Ivory Towers are reading these.

Sorry about your losing Gold but then was surprised that they had issued you the "Platinum challenge" as you usually get one shot at the brass ring http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif.

They should have just automatically extended your status a la September 11th. I am afraid to fly, etc. It works. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif For my dad and a few others, it is true.

As for AA MRTC, yes, I think AA has the best coach product in the world. The seat is 90%, the rest, whatever. I can BMO/BYO.

Just curious, if you don't mind my asking and wondering if there is a trip report about this. Why the fuming with Untied? I don't care for them. Their Sh*ttle by Untied here in California drove the masses away, it was essentially Southwest in UA uniforms and attitude. I would love to hear more about that, if you don't mind. thanks.

From what I've read in the AA forum, you can take the challenge as many times as you want. It's when you're flat out comped without a challenge that it's usually a one shot deal.

I'm looking into copyright violations with the title of this trip report.

>>> OH please, pretty please http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif. I would enjoy seeing it. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Thanks for the info, to all of you. Good to know that you can do a challenge anytime. Not sure if I would go that far, as people on the AA board were flatly turned down for the challenge.

I am hoping that Northwest will give me another shot. I don't mind a challenge, but a comp. is nice.

Again, good report.

It appears that there was a passenger who CLAIMED to be techgirl at DFW on Sunday. No one really knows for sure, as she had no Admirals Club card on her person and the American Airlines counter agents refused to look up the AAdvantage profile of this imposter. In fact, the name on that DFW-AUS ticket wasn't even spelled correctly.

Me thinks security at DFW was successfully breached yesterday. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

So you had the "normal" Sunday landing weather at DFW. I keep saying I'm going to fly back on a Monday, but never do. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

The perfect ladies' man is a perfect gentleman.

I've never heard an AA crew give info about the weight of the airplane. They always do the flight time and the planned cruise alttitude. One time, way up to FL410 on a 757 (LAX to DFW), another, way down at FL210 on a F100 (DAL to LAX). Hearing speed isn't uncommon either. But like I said, never the weight of the plane.

And nothing like a landing in a good, stiff crosswind. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Hopefully, you get the Plat. status on AA.

And to think that Mrs. Onedog still thinks I fly AA because of MRTC! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Okay... I am a newbie just starting to fly a lot and I'm on chapter three of "Frequent Flyer's Guide for Dummies". You wrote:

Exactly which airline are you "Never Flying again" and referring too?
Also, what the heck is Hokey?

Really enjoyed your trip notes. I am learning alot from everyone's experiences!

Thanks.

I feel compelled to correct you on a minor detail. I am a Poor Okie Transplant (POT), therefore, I cannot possibly be a TAP. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

You neglected to mention that beautiful OJ sprint you were doing through the A terminal.

See, Peaches and I were chilling at gate 23 across from the Admirals Club while looking off in the direction of the TrAAin to see when CBF would come up the escalator so we could go into the AC for a Shiner or two.

We already had a couple of margaritas in us, so I was dozing/watching people get off the escalator when suddenly the Peachy one nudges me and said "was that a ClueByFour that just ran by?" I look up to see CBF doing a touchdown sprint down the concourse towards his departure gate (where boarding would not commence for another 15 minutes).

A quick call to his cell phone confirmed that he did not TRUST me to give him correct information on his departure gate/time DESPITE the fact that I had talked to him ten minutes prior on his cell phone as they were taxiing and confirmed that there was equipment at the gate, that the CORRECT type of equipment was at the gate, that there was no other flight at that gate, and that the flight at that gate was scheduled to depart on time.

Geez! Where's the trust? You would think I had never flown out of DFW before! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif
