I didn't folllow double/triple eqms at all. Did anyone have triple EQMs besides NW? If they all had triple EQMs, they AA and UA will laso have hordes of elites competing to get upgrades.

We all have different priorities, travel patterns and reasons for staying with NW or crossing over. For us, my family and I, travel has gone down and will stay that way for the next few years. I will probably stay to burn the miles we still have left. I wasn't able to burn them all with the reduced travel we have been doing the last two years. I burnt miles from other accounts while I tried to keep my status. Once the last of the accounts (those of my wife and children) are depleted, I will start using mine to book biz tickets for my my family for the few trips we take. I have to keep my status to use the miles. My consolation is that I can still fly my family in comfort while. The price is coach travel for me as I neither plan to spend for MBY fares, nor I can afford them since we, as many others here, have been travelling on my dime.
