No TPAC for me this year and I have only been booking direct flights all year unless I absolutely have to book a connection. I flew every week the first 6 months of the year except for 2 weeks. Now I'm back to basically being only home for a day or two a week until the week of Christmas. I'm going to end up with about 185K MQMs this year.

Having said that, I've found upgrades more difficult this year than I have in years past but I'm still pretty successful. It's tough for everyone. But, I would hate to be anything other than DM.
