Don't I know it. That's the reason I did a MR to get to 1P at the end of the year when I was 4,300 EQMs short. I'm not going through an even worse year than this year. It was hard enough when I could get E+ up front. Plus, so many of the upgrades I missed I would have made as a 1P. Next year I should be at least at 50% based on my flying patterns.
