of course it's harder to have something and see it be a loss than to never really have it...

I wouldnt stay in the job just for the miles and status but that would be a pretty funny story if ya did!

Status is the key these days... it is what is getting you the things you SHOULD get anyway, in many cases.

It's kind of like how at one time years ago, intermitent windsheild wipers on cars were considered a luxury item. Now, for practical reasons having a bit to do with ease of technology, standardization, and safety, they are on pretty much every vehicle (of course, I think my Volvo XC has them on the headlights too! hehehe)

Status is good but then you find yourself fighting two battles... One is to keep the account alive, the other is to keep the status alive. that's fine but heck, by now you must know enough about miledum to earn many many here and then just use those to sit in FC. You could do mileage runs too, or at least live on the dwindling status into next year, right? Consider it the same thing as fallilng out of love with a hottie. Oh well. NEXT!
