I can't believe it took this long to happen but I woke up every morning for years expecting it. Alaska Airlines is finally going to require mo' miles to fly for free. The 20K dream is over, here comes 25 big ones. Plus they are scaling back the number of seats open to freaky fliers. Damnit. This might be enough to send me to Seattle one way for Seahawks season. I'm not rich, BIATCH!
