I think that's quite worthwhile

Ugh, I hate hot weather. I much prefer to live in San Francisco or the like. Cool, foggy, and not sunny. I know, I'm weird. I don't know why living in MIA would result in more miles if flying AA though. MIA is an AA hub and most flights would be nonstop. None of the three legacies hub in BOS, so you will always need to connect = more miles.
To the OP: Agree that travel shouldn't be the main factor in looking for a career (there are several threads on FT about that), but you seem to know that already and have other reasons. Consulting is good. Can you tell us why you want elite status (upgrades, extra redeemable miles, etc)? Also, what are you most common destinations?
