That's pretty nice, especially now that you're used to flying BF.
I mean, isn't that the case for most FTers? Don't most of us earn miles on our job to spend on our wives (myself not included)?
"I am a little surprised no one has seen the flaw in" your analysis.
Granted, CO is then not rewarding the spender, i.e. the employer who spends 30k on a single employee.
Then the problem with
your analysis is that I wasn't even discussing SWUs. They are NOT are part of the program I was discussing in any way, shape, or form. They are SEPERATE of the new "invitatational status level". I get the SWU's at 100K EQM's period, end of discussion, that was not part of my issue or analysis at all.
