E75 - a failed SE?

You know how they say that Jupiter is a failed sun? Aren't E75's failed SE's? I frown upon these people that do MR's and want the same status as me...

Good point. I personally feel that AC should start adding tiers to SE based on spend.

How about SE CHARITY, SAPPHIRE, TITANIUM and the highest category, SSE (super SUPER elite). Then they can start really distinguishing between those who achieve the status through status runs, and those who really add value to the brand. Plus, they could make nice charity luggage tags.

The fact that someone doesn't spend as much time in an airplane as you does not make them a failure. If achieving S100K is important to them, let them do what they must to get there. A MR is simply putting on the necessary miles.

HA! you only named 3 classes when clearly there should be 4. How about SE BF (Bottom Feeder)?

Edit, oops my bad, you did add 4, but I still think one should be BF, it could stand for anything that matches the letters BF...

Ah, I see you're back. And started a new thread.

I'm still laughing from your post in the other thread and I'm still offering to shake you hand in a MLL, but now I've upped the requirement - not only must you wear a sign, but also a bell.

Stop complaining and start flying.

And I posted a reply there for you

+1

I think you should all start designing the new luggage tags

If only AC could add some meaningful benefits to the E75 tier, maybe they would not do as much MRs to get to SE!

Saaaaayyyyy! That's not a bad idea, designing the BF one could be tricky though

Well, I've never done a mileage run, and I just crossed the MM threshold, so unless you are MM as well, I am officially better than you. Hopefully you aren't 2MM, that would sting.

Oh, and the only people that would call Jupiter a failed sun are those that know nothing about Jupiter.

Wow, its comments like this I often wonder why my friends and I put our lives on the line when we were fighting for our country, to defend our way of life. I guess in all societies we have areas to improve on.

Although I am SE, I be sure to return your salute if I see it!

Well, that's just sad. Perhaps you have failed at life's natural meaning. Having kids, a strong marriage are things that are much harder to do for a SE. Most on my team have lost their marriages due to extensive flying. Some have regrets, some don't. I thought about MRing to HKG to hit SE. And then I thought how pathetic that sounds (to me). Life is more than sitting in a tin tube
If that's your thing than great, but I also think that many super elites have "failed" in life. (natural normal meaning)***I am using your definition, not mine. (saying that if one doesn't spend their life flying that they are a failure). That's the glass half full half empty view.

And you are the one who started this judging comment. Enjoy life in a tin tube by yourself feeling superior to everyone else.

What's next? Lets judge income level. I'd love to have a go at that. See how ridiculous that sounds? Mr. DYKWIA...

Being single is great

I'd rather take the $ saved from NOT needing to raise children to requalify for SE

Plus, no idea why rational men would willingly choose to marry and lose their freedom
