Let me assure you that there are many other ways to achieve WP other than two return trips in First. As my membername suggests, I fly almost exclusivly Economy and I am currently Gold and can make it comfortably to WP this year.
I also know of several other high-status QFF who (must) fly almost exclusivly in Economy. For sure it is nice to become WP when your company pays for Business or First, but there are also many Economy-flying WPs around.
