Elite Segment flyer for 15 years (10+ of them as 1K). It's not easy... going to hit 1 MM this year basically on segments.

It used to be MKE-STL via ORD 12 times a year with MKE-CAK via ORD six to eight times, a couple MKE-MLI via ORD trips, a couple ORD-LAX (via DEN and SFO) and a few other random trips thrown in. Highest count was 154 segments with a double segment promo in the mid-2000's. Now, it's ATL-ORD twice a month, ATL-CAK a bunch and a few ATL-MLI trips. And there is the one trip to DUS each year.

Incoming gripe... CO dba UA is what has happened in the merger and I am unhappy about it... going from 100 to 120 segments for 1K is horrible. The reduction of CR-1's from 2 per quarter (8 per year) to basically 4 per year was completely unnecessary. MM's losing CR-1's and SWU's just as I am about to hit 1 MM really sucks. Ah well...
