I'm in the midst of my worst flying year since I started travelling for work a decade ago. I might just barely hit 50k this year and 50 or 60 EQS. I'll probably have to pull a MR or two to even pull that off. I'm used to hitting 100-150k per year paid and another 20-25k on reward tix.

I took a promotion early this year and got a nice raise, but they didn't tell me that I was going to get screwed out of travelling. The thought of not travelling at least a couple of weeks a month makes me extremely depressed. I have no idea how folks with desk jobs don't hang themselves after a few hours of being in an office... Probably gonna have to go find me a job that keeps me on the road at least 40 weeks a year before I start getting DTs.
