Not going to happen. I will strive for minimum FO but know that with my MQDs already at 2000$ and a TATL already booked plus company travel, I will easily get Gold by mid May and PM by August or earlier. I think I should get DM again for 2015 by xmas new year - and trust me DM is so worth it to me that if all else fails, when I go home for Xmas it will be a paid BE flight across the Atlantic.

My company have informed me the travel policy for my level/grade is a flight at >6 hours is automatic paid BE. I have a company credit card so the gravy train of my DL Plat Amex has gone away unless for personal use.


I think it's appropriate that MQMs rollover but MQDs do not. In fact, I wish EC seat fees didn't count for MQDs, nor change fees.

I totally agree
