After taking advantage of the elite challenge opportunity back in January to bump up from 2P to 1P for a c-note and a few flights (and double dipping for 25k offer for multiple flights at same time), I've finally earned 1P to keep next year. Did a EQS run today, OMA-ORD-STL-ORD-OMA, to net out for the year at 60 EQS, 39k EQM. Interestingly, all the flights were running late in and out of ORD today for these segments, but for a change it actually helped me accelerate my schedule since the delays allowed for a few schedule connections that normally would not have been possible and even with the delays, the new flights opportunities put me ahead of the planned connections (assuming they even left on time which seems doubtful today).
