I clearly remember the dismissive nature at that time of many of those on FT who flew long hauls, even going so far as to state they were glad, as there would be less 1Ks to compete against.
Apparently, the "if it doesn't effect me, I'm not bothered" attitude is rearing its apathetic head once again.
Luckily, on the 500 mile minimums, UA caved to our reasonings. In this new era of COunited, I truly don't think anyone at Whacker gives a damn anymore. Sadly, I think this will stick. Likewise, it's a harbinger of things to come.
Makes me think of the triple RDM days (can't remember the promo) a few years ago when I flew SMF-SFO-LAX-SNA after SMF-LAX got cancelled. Good times.
120 EQM is brutal but living in a UX town gives me 4 or 6 segments weekly. If I stay employed and don't end up with a gig in any of the hub cities I should hit 120EQM. Nonetheless, this is a big
and I don't look forward to the next MP-NonePass program updates. Gunning for EQM next year for sure. I wish my hometown had AA presence so I could consider the great AA EXP movement in the other thread.
