But that wouldnt apply to an NB (woo-hoo, Ive coined a new acronym, for NoBody-FF member with no status) who got silver/FO. Although with this new MQD requirement, the rollover is going to mean less and less because you either have enough pocket cash to buy J/F-class or are having someone else pay for it. I bought a fully V-fare from MKE to SIN for just under $1200, but those 22k miles dont do me crap when I still have to make up the other $1300 just to get silver... I really think the MQD requirement is going to thin the ranks, because mileage runs are just going to be a niche market (business people on paid J-class who need miles to top off their MQMs).
