Reading some of this thread and PoT articles, it seems SQD needs to be earned by me personally flying $5,500 worth before New years eve, except something about eupgrades.
Can I buy $5500 worth of those.. Or any other options.
I'm not flying in Dec, but in January so think I'm SOL. 50k status would be nice but probably not end of the world since we try to fly business
If 50k status is nice but not the end of the world, then it's definitely not worth spending that $5500 for the sake of it. You are correct in that you need to fly it. If you don't currently hold status at all, which I'm assuming you don't, there's no other path to 50k other than being gifted it by an SE100K (which can done, but it's technically not legal under the T&C to financially entice someone to do it for you, though if it were, it certainly wouldn't cost you anywhere close to 5500
).
