I don't understand one thing. Your profile says your local airport is RDU. While there has been no systemwide double EQM, certainly you are located in one of the better spots to earn DBL EQM, due to the triple miles/double EQM bonus from RDU. It's how I am getting to EXP this year, due to the AA cuts from SJC. If I flew out of RDU, all of my trips would have started in RDU and MR's would not be needed.
