but I digress.
As much as everyone .....es about silver status I loved it, though I had nothing to compare it to! I mean I got free checked bags/(now bag), I never had to sit in the back of the bus, and I did get a few upgrades!
This trip to Mexico will be my last flight as an FO and then I will go back to just being a skymiles member
Well, it was good while it lasted. So people enjoy what you have!

At least I get two free bags for my Mexico trip!
I have to be a January quarterback, but you should have checked the rules toward the end of last year to avoid the January surprise of no status and no rollover.
OTOH, if you have enjoyed FO and especially if your travel patterns lead to upgrades, you should seriously consider buying 10,000 MQMs by the end of January, which would give you FO for 12 more months and over 3,000 rollover. It's not yet too late to do this.
