This wasn't just about keeping people out, it was also about keeping them in. The plan has become more ambitious in fact a Department of Homeland Security report details the plan to require all departing passengers, including all citizens, to have photos (mug shots) taken when leaving the United States -- expanding to land and sea crossings as well.

However Oasis has been sold and is no longer associated with Hyatt.

Word leaked about these changes and employees were up in arms (and thoroughly embarrassed). The airline backed down, and didn't ultimately go to 29 inch pitch. There's a brilliant video about that plan. I keep watching it and completely losing it, this is hilarious.

Some awards are more expensive, some less expensive. Instead of a hidden award chart they have a calculator. But they still offer various routes at 25% or 50% off each month for booking through October 30 and travel November 30 - January 30.

Hyatt didn’t have a significant presence in the Las Vegas market, while this became an opportunity for MGM to reach affluent customers whose choices in Vegas might otherwise be brand-independent. This was a tighter relationship with more value than we had seen from other chains, something almost akin to the kind of codesharing airlines do with each other. Since then the status match has been made less generous for Hyatt members, but there’s still valuable recognition. And the Hyatt-MGM M life deal isn’t ‘either-or’ you receive MGM recongition while still earning Hyatt points also. Through the end of the year there’s a...

That's not a sustainable business model, it works for a few seats and for a short period of time. But what happens when you're not even filling your planes at low low prices?
