To reach EP, one would have to spend $200,000 with no travel involved. That would be a substantial outlay under most circumstances. I highly doubt that was the path taken to reach EP.

Like you, I would have grabbed that $93 in a heartbeat. Currently, the offer for LAS -CLT mid March is $1,172. I don't know what AA is thinking, but good for them if they can get someone to ante up. If they do, I can't be mad at them.
Because this is a business trip and my company paid for the Y class ticket, I'm will to go as high as $300 for this segment.
