You will need to fly some more flights to guarantee the 30th spot. There are some players behind you that will probably fly this weekend.

I should cancel my flight on Sunday, flying more to finish between 31 to 35 is a waste of time.
Looks like two gift card buyers (spirteguy and Mikerarity) will take two spots in 11th - 30th.

Before this update (which appeared to include one more week of flying from the previous) I was sitting in 30th with 42900, now its 43550.
My guess is there are only approx 8 days of flying left to happen and post. Will the low water mark go up more than 10K?
My guess (and hope) is no.

The low water mark is going to be more than 10K I think. I estimate that the 5-6 players behind me in positions 31-36, at least 2-3 of them have 10-20 Gogo badges missing -like most do- and have likely flown this past week and/or last weekend, and will fly again this weekend. That's two weeks of points plus Wifi Badges yet to be posted. I think you need to add 15-20K or so.... 30th place = 55-60k points.

Thats why I'm flying tomorrow morning thru to Monday 2350hrs. Uggh.

I’m in 34th and I have cancelled my weekend’s flights because another 7,000 wings won’t get me in to the top 30.

Good luck to all the flyers this weekend!

I think you're right on that, 7k more isn't going to do it.

Still alot of movement to come for Top 10 and 11-30 rankings. I think you made a smart move.

I'm rethinking the 10th rank final numbers, there are a few folks moving up still from 11-15, 10th could be 106k or higher. So big names there are at risk... (despite Wifi badges that are to come). Going to be a photo finish!

I'm done flying.

I think my number in the wiki is fairly accurate.

As they say, long time first time. Hi Folks.
(wanted to post this Friday pm, but got delayed in the FT newbie process)
Currently #33
It still looks like I still have a slight chance at Top30 and I am frankly quite amazed, although I am not sure I really believe it.
As a professional courtesy and , yes, just for kicks, I need to confirm ReRouteMe's calculation and decision to fly this weekend
I think it will take 60K + to be ahead of me, which can be done, but you are going to have to "earn" it.
As of now, I have 10K flights and 10K of miscellaneous other (lotsa Gogo/Cars/Hotels and even one On the Go), still to be recorded.
Happy Flying and Good luck.

Haha, a few of us had you pegged at making a big jump, so good to know our estimate process is working. I won't get to 60K + but will I will jump ahead a few K for sure, enough to make top 30 I hope. I'm still estimating 30th rank at 55kish....

You are welcome. Prairies are tougher this time with the requirement for 4 instead of 3 - I feasted on those last time.
The good news is you can buy Roughriders gear for all your Xmas presents, without even leaving the secure zone.

No flying for me this weekend and only one more biz trip tomorrow YHM-YUL-YOW.
And.... we wait.
