Was in the same job last year, making the same money. I have the means to travel, and took several MRs last year just for fun. This year, I've only taken one trip, and will probably only take enough to reach first tier on UA. Aside from higher fares, it's not worth the hassle of dealing with TSA. I drove to RDU this year, I'll drive to CLE this year (despite easy UA/CO flights there), and I'll probably drive my son to Disney World next year rather than fly.
I'd be a lot more willing to pay higher fares if travel wasn't such a hassle. But since it is what it is, it seems they can do without my money.
