Upgrd is expanding beyond miles, points, and hot nuts. Check out the new Upgrd Podcast, “The Crew Lounge.” It’s hosted by my favorite flight attendant blogger, Sara, and her sidekick Bobby. They just released their first episode, appropriately entitled “The Pilot” (and Sara tells some mean pilot jokes…. just sayin’!).
If you’re a flight attendant you’ll surely be able to relate to them. If you’re a passenger, you can have all your questions answered and even find out some stuff you really didn’t need to know about. 
Join us for episode 50 of the Upgrd Podcast. Unfortunately I don’t have a good reason for having missed this one, other than mixing up days. Oops!
Only posting about this because I have a comment or two to make. First of all, thanks to Matt’s fiance for her lovely comment about me. Much appreciated.
More importantly, though, I wish I could have been there to respond to Mike’s comment (around the 15 minute mark). Mike played the audio of the predictions we made for 2009 back in late 2008. Mike said my predictions were “very generic…. I don’t even know if this counts.”
Let’s go through my predictions one by one, shall we?
– Promotions? Check (although fair enough, that’s generic)
– More double elite qlualifying miles promotions? Check
– Hotel promotions, including double stay offers and Hyatt’s Faster Free Nights? Check, check, and check
– Status being awarded to people that are short of actual qualification threshold? Check (see this 200+ post thread in the United forum)
Now, even if Mike doesn’t think so, I’m going to go on the record and say I nailed it. 
I guess what I find really funny is Mike’s prediction — “United is going to have some major change announced by the end of the year.” Way to be specific, Mike!
