Blackstone Group did in 2008? If you 'Google' this- THE TOP 10 HIGHEST PAID CEOS ARE, you can read the CNNMoney.com article about the Top 10 CEO's compensation in 2008. The CEO of Blackstone Group made $702,440,573.00 in salary & stock options in 2008, according to that article, right? That's $2.7 MILLION per day, based on a 5 day work-week, correct? If you divide $702 MILLION by 260 days you'll get $2.7 MILLION per day, isn't that right? Since there are 5 days in a work-week, & there are 52 weeks in a year, 52 weeks x 5 days = 260 days, right?

was one of the other banks that was EXPOSED for 'speculating', or better put- MANIPULATING the price of OIL last year when it went as high as $147 a barrel. I watched the '60 Minutes' segment entitled- 'Did Speculation Fuel Oil Price Swings' & Barclays was one of the banks mentioned, correct? Do you remember how the price of gasoline soared to over $4 a gallon in the USA? It caused a lot of problems in our economy, and other economies because so many people in the USA & all over the world need gasoline for their cars, & the airlines also need fuel for their planes, & truckers need diesel fuel to transport goods like food, right? I believe that boats & ships with engines need fuel too, don't they? (Most sailboats are exempt).

First of all, thank you for service and sacrifice :-)

I am also a BOA US Airways cardholder.... or was, until they sold it to Barclays. I agree that being able to cash in the miles for a free trip has become almost more trouble than it's worth. I recently wanted to use my miles on a one way trip. You can't do that online, you have to call (and there's a charge for that). You have to go through the Dividend Miles department where you get charged again. And, since it was less than 14 days in advance there was ANOTHER fee.  By the time I was done, the fees to use my "free" miles exceeded the cost of the ticket!  I have about 49,000 miles and only need another few to get a round-trip ticket. Unfortunately, I opted out when my card was sold and they tried to raise my rates from 13.9% to 29.9%!! Never been late, always pay more than minimum, you get the idea - a GOOD customer.

I've had it with the banks and credit card companies. I've always been responsible and I'm still getting shafted. When the economy turns around and they're looking for customers again, they won't get MY business.

Your beef is with US Airways ONLY.  The bank offers the card to you as a promotional deal, but the promotion has conditions on it - and those conditions are set by US Airways, not the bank.  You really need to focus your complaint on the issue at hand because outsourcing IT jobs also has nothing to do with any of this either and BTW that's been going almost as long as you've been alive (the earliest known outsource of IT jobs was sometime in 1990 and I worked for that company)...Many companies have been outsourcing manufacturing jobs as well too - what does that have to do with this?  The point is that when you bring things up that have nothing to do with the complaint, you make me believe your soulmate is Karl.

Now before you start Googling yourself to death, read the terms of your agreement with US Airways and figure out when you can take a vacation that isn't within the blackout period.  Odds are there are many blackout periods......and you will likely take your vacation during an off-peak period.

Best of luck to you sir, and thank you for your service to this country.

certainly seem to make a good income, wouldn't you agree? Earlier this week there was a report that the chief executive of Blackstone Group made $702,440,573.00 in salary & stock options in 2008! That's $2.7 MILLION per day, based on a 5 day work-week. If you divide $702 MILLION by 260 days you'll get $2.7 MILLION, correct? (5 day work-week x 52 weeks = 260 days.) So he earned a little over $337,000.00 PER HOUR in 2008 based on a typical 8 hour day, right? That's pretty good money, isn't it?
