Those that made it with the DEQM promos are what we here in the UA forum deemed "1K lites." Most all of them (myself not included) will roll off the rosters in January 2011. I (as many other domestic "road warrior" types) made/make 1K the old fashioned way...one BIS miles/segs. I, for one, ended 2009 well above 100 segs last year...even without the DEQM promo.
