ok - I will/did achieve my strategic goals in the year running (year 2000 for year 2001) and will make (real 100'000 miles) 1K the second time (first time was in 98 for 1K-status in 99) in three days from today; on my flights back from the Thanksgiving Whistler-skiing weekend to Europe. I will go on to try to qualify for 1K every second year (in between 'only' Premex): the 1K-years 'provide me enough upgrade vouchers for my whole 2-year UA-ff-program cycle (and even with reservations/upgrades on most UA flights in the years in between, when only being Premier Executive, I will try, as I did 2 years ago, to book my flights and ask for upgrades early (before end of february, and by this I profit from my former 1K status regarding upgrades even later ...).

[/b]Requalification for LH Senator[/b] is on it's way as planned and will be achieved with my (already booked) upcoming Australia trip in january 2001 (100'000 miles&more status miles in any 12 months). Validity of the requalified Senator status will be then end of february 2004 (FOUR)!
