“Service Dog” is a Scam .
So what is Amex limits it to 20 PP visits a year. Way more than the vast majority use and doesn’t impact Centurion lounges or others in the lounge collection not associated with PP.
Anyone that wants to cancel the Platinum over this shouldn’t have had it in the first place. I cost my AF w credits (including the $200 Fine Hotel credit) so all lounges, insurance and other benefits are a bonus. Only way to view things
Why do people get so upset when something they don’t use anyway is taken away or limited? Zero impact on them – get real and move along. Also bet most on here have Platinum and CSR so multiple cards w PP access if that is an issue
Were the pilots unable to hear the ATC?
Sometimes when you have stupid pilots on the frequency who don’t follow instructions, you have to talk to them that way. That is the only way to get through to them that they can kill or be killed if they don’t do what you told them to do. It happens more than you think. And watching that, the pilot never did do what he was told to do.
There’s probably a pretty good reason the operator of 234WL didn’t turn . . . he was following his magenta line and it didn’t turn.
