Why couldn't one of your first post be like, "I need 35,000 MQMs to get Diamond for 2018 and I have a $500 budget and can only do it on Tuesday Dec 5th - someone please find me a trip" or starting a new thread about a very covered and old topic because who ever thought a search button would exist.

I'm just kidding - welcome to FT, glad you made a nice introduction post, hope you're enjoying Delta!
