I am also on the same trend... 2009 = ~205k, 2010=~145k, and this year ~112k. I guess a significant portion of that was the lack of EQM bonues/promos this year compared to the last 2 years.

But also my incentive was down - actually became Plat on Delta this year (when my normal DL year is ~10k). No Elite Choice + all the other stuff with the merger kept me off UA on a couple trips...
