FWIW, I doubt that anyone that was flying 100K or 120 segments has been probably that impacted by EQD requirements with capacity reduction and rising fares. We are not flying to DUB for $400 anymore. The $150 transcons are few and far between IMHO these days. Also, for status chasers, the Silver Aviator Barclays Card gets you 6,000 EQDs with correct spend. The days of making EP on much less that 6,000 are long gone.
