Who: PTahCha, in the management consulting industry, now I have a desk job with the same company.

When: 1P right around August, 1K on 12/22/08 for the second time by a queaker (666 EQM over )

How: 60% work related travel, 30% personal due to our consolidation of households from LA to CT. 10% from DEQM promotion in the middle of the year.

Where: lots of p.s. flights (both SFO and LAX), but also ended up in DTW*, CLT, DFW, MSP*, IAD, SAN, PDX, SEA. Was in Costa Rica, but flew on CO instead. So yes, I'm one of those Domestic-only 1K's.

(*) new cities that I visited for the first time.

Why: Hitting 1K was purely acciental - wasn't planning on it, but a sudden surge in travel in Q4 made reaching 1K within reach, and went for it. I really want that 3 *** on the manifest so I get my first choice in meals. Oh, the CR-1, SWU, and drink chits don't hurt either.

What: No plans on how to renew the status - work-related travel will be down to nil due to our new internal travel policy (basically, no travel). Planning on aiming for 1P with more transcon / p.s. flights.
