**thanks, i have read all that before. They talk about higher 'fees' and such.

I remember when AA bought out RenoAir, and TWA; the GOVT didnt raise a 'stink' about that. You know what it comes down to, is "YOU WASH MY BACK, I'LL WASH YOUR BACK"....give HOLDER and crew their FREE LIFETIME UPGRADES, and EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE; YOU WAIT AND SEE ***
