Dear Southwest,.

Just couldn't pass up this opportunity to remind them why we haven't been flying:

Email to Southwest said:

I received a postcard postmarked 23 Nov 2011 thanking me for my recent correspondence and providing a tracking number for future reference: nnnnnnnn

To the best of my knowledge, I have not corresponded with Southwest for over a year. After TSA groped my wife quite badly at STL on 1 Nov 2010, we wrote to inform Southwest (A-List, Companion Pass) and Continental (2 x Platinum) that we would cease flying until and unless TSA is reformed and brought under control.

We've had a nice TSA-free year with no abuse from the thugs in blue gloves, and we'll be content to continue this arrangement as long as necessary. Our regular trips to St. Louis have been made by car, and we've chosen vacation destinations (Denver, Black Hill, Oshkosh) that can be reached by automobile. Perhaps when some major airlines go out business due to lost customers (you can't keep blaming it on the economy forever), the abuse that we've been experiencing from TSA will finally be brought to an end.

So as not to waste them, we've been giving away our unused credits and award trips to friends and coworkers. The final two award trips were give to my wife's coworker, DJ, and D's friend CN. There was a minor issue when D was unable to change the tickets herself, as I told her she would be able to do, but I made the changes myself on-line. After I researched the issue and traded some notes with friends on the internet (FT), I concluded that there had been a long-overdue tightening of RR account security. Beyond that, I've heard of no issues regarding their trip.

Interesting coincidence that I wrote this just a few hours before AA announced their bankruptcy filing.
