I was the 2P cat-herder for some time, doing my best to keep expectations in line, explaining how things worked, preaching respect for the real iron-butt flyers who keep the planes up in the air.

And then something weird happened. I flew too much last year, and then UA added DEQM (twice, although I didn't fly once during the initial DEQM period), and with a mileage run became a 1K. I always signed my posts with lowly 2P when that was my station in life, but I never really felt I earned the right to consider myself a BOLD 1K. I also had, for a time, all of the elite titles listed in my sig, but was asked by a couple of seasoned FTers to remove them, because they were distracting as people scrolled down a page.

Next year, I'll hopefully be able to report on the Humble 1P experience. ^
