Right after 9/11, with the advent of the various "security" restrictions (including, but not limited to, the limit of only 1 carry-on item) I predicted that there would be far less frequent flyers because: a) it was a lot less fun, and people wouldn't even try to do it; b) it would be virtually impossible to accomplish the schedule necessary to justify it for business.

For the record, when I say "frequent flyer" I am not talking about people who just do the minimum to be top-tier in an airline program. I am talking about people who do over 300,000 (miles, not points) a year. (When I qualified I was doing about 500k/year, all domestic U.S.).

How many people here have *become* frequent flyers (by my definition) after 9/11? How many people here have *stopped* being frequent flyers after 9/11?
