Let's be honest here...for those that once enjoyed EXP status under the old qualifications have seen some major changes in what what was once a truly ellte status...when you qualified for EXP you were flying either 100K actual miles or at least 200 segments each year...now that the new qualification has been cut in half, you see mostly EXP tags in first, and the status once enjoyed as an EXP flyer is nothing more than a watered down version of Platinum...If I was flying over 250K miles a year (which I am not) I would certainly welcome a level above EXP...
