I do admire those that slug out the repetitiveness of short distance flying. Attaining 75K on segments only, has it's "up & downs."
I earned 9,170 EQM on one direct flight this year (eqivalent to ~18 segments @ 500 minimum) without a COS bonus, 20,633 RDM.
I have also booked a few Partner flights for mid January and will accrue 25,146 EQM and earn 56,579 RDM (no COS) with just 3 PE flights.

Wow! The most I have gotten for my flights is just a bit over 3300, most are either around 1200 or under 500 miles and all are domestic on AS only. Only a few trips have been personal though, and those were cities with direct AS flights. I will be flying Iceland Air, Swiss Air, and Lufthansa for a trip to Stockholm and Udine next week. Not much with partners though.
