The OC has the highest density of lawyers per square foot than any other place in the world. Translation: You are competing for a free upgrade with a bunch of pompous, self-important reprobates.... that in this case are not consultants ... who pay for them seats.

LAX much better hit rate. I'm United 1k. Got upgraded more than half my flights. Never have been upgraded on SNA flights. Go figure.

Try leaving SFO to Chicago - as Exec Plat - #15 usually on that list.

Dear All Fisbowls,

I have a query. Request all of yours suggestion and if you have done something similar to this please share.

You have resigned and have offer in hand suppose 15 fixed.
Meanwhile you get another offer but they will give around 17 fixed.
I am thinking to quote my in hand offer as 17 fixed with changes in it and share it with them.
So that they can give me around 20 fixed.
Request to share honest detail here.
