Well, I should have been landing in TLV here in 2 hours to get EXP again, but my project was canceled earlier this week, leaving me tripless for the rest of 2019, in turn leaving me $972 short on EQDs for EXP this year.

Now I get to figure out how to convince my management to get me a flight or two for the new projects (nowhere near going to be a long haul) just to get the EQDs, or I wait for AAdvantage to email me late in December with an absurd offer to buy my way into EXP again for more than just a $1000 EQD flight to say LHR and back.

Anyone been sitting within $1000 of the EQD requirement and figured out a way to get it done? I'm well over the EQMs, and won't ever make EQS, so it's down to EQDs or bust.
