Hey Lucky, just a quick question, in order for all the upgrades to have cleared three weeks in advance, the upgrade instrument is the CR-1 (and not E-500s)?

For the upgrade to clear 3 weeks out it would have to be miles or a CR1

Correct, and I had used CR1's.

I promise after this promo I'll do the experiments though, and maybe I'll have some interesting results. Who knows?

The Double EQMs are much too important for people like us Lucky. So have at it and collect as many EQMs from the promo as you need, but I will be curious what the results of your experiment will be.

So it's after DEQM... what's the deal, lucky?

Doing them this year? I am still interested to know the results!

Thanks for reminding me, bmvaughn. I'll definitely do it this year, and hopefully in the next couple of months. As soon as I have a few itins that look similar, I'll give it a try. First I have to do a bit of travel with my new shirts, since I have a feeling that will lead to some interesting stories as well.

Since my January and February travels are almost entirely upgraded, I'll plan on doing it in March.

But your sport coat just doesn't go with those T-shirts, Ben...

So we get a DEQM promotion in March this year? Sweet!

This turned out to be a bit frighteningly insightful. Do you give stock tips as well, JahawkCO?

[lucky9876coins]

You're welcome. You'll have to wait till June 15. I promise I'll do it this year, though.

[lucky9876coins]

OK, so I did have a bit of training this past weekend. I spent nearly six hours on a CRJ and then got seat 22B on Ted. Isn't that bad enough?

Looking forward to the report!
