Mike Paradis is a skypimp

Anyone (and allow me to add extra emphasis to "one") who reads this blog probably already knows that Mike Paradis owns the sky. In particular he makes it a personal hobby to vanquish Delta of its profit margin (or in many years double its losses). This has prompted me to one day author the book "Mike Paradis: The Man Who Broke Delta." With the combination of Crown Room access, frequent flyer miles and medallion miles, he extorts this company basically to the point where they pay him to fly. What he does is completely legal but it feels like a scam. Maybe that's why I want in...

Step 1: Get skymiles account & amex platinum card
Step 2: Get amex skymiles gold card
Step 3: Purchase double connecting 1 night round trip to New Orleans during double miles months on the skymiles gold card.
Step 4: Check-in online, print out boarding pass and proceed straight to security
Step 5: Enjoy free access to food, drinks, and high-speed internet in the Crown Room courtesy of the Amex Platinum Card
Step 6: (Once you get status from your miles) Enjoy free upgrades to first class and free drinks on the plane during your miles runs.

A few "miles runs" per year and you achieve gold/platinum status in no time. Hopefully we can orchestrate an appropriate weekend/weekday to go this fall. Too bad he will be in first class on every flight while I park my newcomer rear in coach. But what did you expect? He's a skypimp.
