do not seem all that great to me. Wasn't the reward last year at 125k a roll-over of 5,000 EQM's? I though that you could nominate somebody to premier status last year at 75k, also? Seems like the rewards are simply not so nice this year...
Maybe it depends on your personal life, but I like the new EC.
I'll definitely hit 125 segments this year with a better than 50/50 chance at 175 (and definitely 175 if there is a DEQS somewhere along the line).
That means I can make La Señora a 2P and have a good shot at making her a 1P. If I can give 1P that means for the handful of flights she takes each year on her own she'll at least get E+ exit row and will have a decent chance of F.
Seems like a good deal from where I'm standing.
