Sometimes positive things do happen on Mondays.

I'm sitting here killing time waiting for a phone call (and for the day to be over), so I surf on over to the Bankrupt Northwest Airlines website. I randomly check my frequent flier miles balance. I don't quite have enough for a free ticket, but ... they're running a cash + miles promotion which would slice about 50% off the cost of my ticket! Yes!

If you're a big picture thinker, this deal is decidedly -EV. It would cost *four times as much* to buy replacement miles.

If you're me, you're just happy because the odds of attending the WPBT: December Edition just improved significantly!

If you're you, and you're flying from a Northwest-dominated market, it's on their website.

Yay, Monday.
