Until I see a drastic drop off in domestic UG's (i'm 35 for 36 this year with 10 transcon legs, out of JFK to LAX or SFO), i'm pullin up short of DM again. only UG missed was a DFW-ATL on a Thursday at 6 pm, which is not surprising i guess...sidenote: man am i happy i don't have ATL as my main airport. UG list was something like 60 ppl deep and several DM's missed an UG.

I think if I was in ATL i'd prob shoot for DM....but being NYC area, i just haven't missed any UG's this year and to me, it's worth rolling over 45K MQMs and requalifying for plat in April/May and over the stress of starting over from zero.

obviously, that formula changes if i start seeing a ton of DM's next year on the list ahead of me.
