I miscalculated. I didn't realize the Bovine will have two Level Ups.
I'm going to beat him by 50 wings if everything posts correctly.
He's still missing his AQS badge, and we both need our upgrades.

The missing AQD badges ("Spread Your Wings") also just posted.
As of this minute, there's a tie in position 6, which cascades down the list making everyone else appear one position higher than they would otherwise be. It's not clear if that tie will remain, I guess if depends on how many other badges are still to post.

The interesting wrinkle this year is the team challenges .... which could shake things up one more time when they are awarded on August 27 (or thereabouts 
)
It will be interesting to see if they make much difference at all. Because both badges require an international flight, my hunch is that they will not be a big influence .... but it does add one more level of uncertainty.

If someone in the top-ten wants to maintain a tie, and lift everyone else up by one place .... I'd be happy with that. And I'm gonna guess that @philelite would feel the same way ....

Everyone in the top 10 would "lose" 91K data (going from 1M to 909K). The person currently in position 11 would "gain" an additional 400K (from 500K to 909K), and the person in position 31 would gain 500K.

I have 32 of my 40 upgrades now, but the important thing is I am very likely top ten for the first time AND my marriage remains reasonably intact. marilyncol is certainly not 100% happy, but I am hopeful that 1M aeroplan miles will assist with future happiness.
(don't look for marilyncol - it does not exist in eyw. I checked first)

I thought I saw something that the Refresh and Recharge wouldn't post for a while, but I can't find those terms now.
Up, Up, and Away is very much tied to specific flight segments, so I doubt a UFP will count.
I'm curious if my lounge entry on an Aeroplan ticket will count, since it's more tied to an Aeroplan number entering the MLL. But since there's still a flight segment associated with it, I'm not sure.

Currently ranked 675th!!!

We're still missing all our upgrade badges. I'm 100 behind the Bovine right now, but I also have one more upgrade than him.
That tie will not last long.
