I am plat and have only flown about 3500 miles so far this year. Last year at this time I had probably done at least 15,000. Although I hate the new HoKeY rules, the primary reason is that I don't find Continental's fares as competitive as they used to be. My flying is almost exclusively leisure so if the fares aren't good I stay home or fly someone else. Their weekend specials in particular are lame when compared to what American offers.
