Alaska Airlines Status After Just Two Roundtrips

Airlines will frequently
give you elite status if you have status with a competitor in
order to make it easier to move your business.

Alaska Airlines in particular is quite aggressive, they will
even match to their top tier MVP Gold 75K level when you email with
proof of your existing status.

They also have a new offer out that does not require you to be a
current elite flyer, just someone that has plans to fly cross
country a few times.

New Big Delta Credit Card Initial Bonus Offers are Back (and Two are My Favorite Ever for the Cards)

American Express is running new limited time initial bonus
offers for the Gold Delta SkyMiles® Credit Card, Platinum Delta
SkyMiles® Credit Card from American Express, and Delta Reserve®
Credit Card from American Express.

They seemingly used to run big offers for these cards all the
time but we haven’t seem them nearly as often recently. And the
offer for the Platinum Delta SkyMiles® Credit Card from American
Express is my favorite one they’ve offered to date. So is the
offer for the Delta Reserve® Credit Card from American Express.
These limited time offers are valid through April 3, 2019.

Lyft Aims to Reward Loyal Drivers While Going Public

Skift Take: One of Lyft’s major risk factors
is the possibility of its drivers bailing to another competing
service for some reason. This move will generate goodwill with the
company’s most loyal drivers, and others who are willing to buy
into Lyft’s long-term future.

Rumor: American to Admit Defeat, Give Passengers More Space in Coach

In late 2017 American Airlines
rolled out a new coach product. It featured less space than
ever between seats (not just in coach, but less space for extra
legroom coach and even for first class). There was less recline,
too, and no seat back video. They found space for more seats by
squeezing inches out of the lavatories. And they found space by
taking padding out of the seats.

Not only was this new interior what’s going into their new
Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, but they’ve been taking more comfortable
Boeing 737-800s and ripping out those interiors to match what I’ve
sometimes called “Torquemada configuration.”

Security State Run Amok: Government Distributes Terror Watch List to 1441 Private Organizations

The US government maintains a “No Fly List” and airlines are
required to check passengers against it before allowing them to
fly. They maintain other lists that trigger increased security
screening and potentially harassment.

The lists are pre-crime profiling. Not even based on science.
And it’s also done very very poorly. People get on the list by
mistake, because they’re related to someone who is on it, or
because they visited the wrong country in the wrong year. .

These are secret lists that people haven’t been entitled to know
they are on, how they got on, or to confront the evidence relied
upon to put them on it. Legally there is very little recourse, and
when challenged the government claims ‘state secrets.’
