Perhaps for someone qualifying on segments that's low, but I just counted my UA segments for the year (102k PQM, 45k UA BIS) and I only have 18. I'm actually surprised my flight count is that high.
An increase in required segments counts (something like 4/8/12/16... although 4/6/8/10 would be more likely) would have more of an effect on my travel planning than the PQD requirement has had. Although all that would likely amount to is a segment run at some point.
