I'm just curious what FT'ers think a "fair" segment qual would be. If one has to connect, then one can make 1K by flying two round trips per month plus an extra. Is that 1K-worthy? I have no clue. OTOH, surely, 1 round-trip per week is 1K worthy. So if one never connects, he's only reaching 104 segments annually. If I were the later, I'd actually be pretty pissed -- I'd have to obtain *16* additional segments, or *8* round-trips. AND THAT'S ON TOP OF FLYING EVERY G-D WEEK OF THE YEAR WITH NO TIME OFF!

There really is such a thing as too much flying -- especially domestically -- and if I were the later crowd, I'd be looking for an AA status match yesterday.
