10K scheduled in May before taking most of June and July off from Alaska tin as trips to and around Europe are Aer Lingus.

AS YTD 0.
I have a lot coming up though. 75k is looking likely for this year (including a lot of partner miles).
My goal is to get 75k on AS and also maintain my matched UA Gold status. That's 140k qualifying miles (NOT all BIS) between two programs. Maybe 20k qual miles of business travel (if not I won't hit UA Gold)
And 1 TPAC award trip, as well as one TATL award (that obviously don't count towards that total).
I have a long way to go. It's spring though... best weather if the year in most of the country (and the world!). It's time for some weekend getaways

I am actually watching my MM status much more carefully, I forgot to check where I am for 75k status! Ive only flow 34,083 miles so far this year, since the year is not even half way yet I figure I will make 75k again this year.

YTD = 0. Although I have a transcon at the end of next week on AS
With Alaska's new #southofexpected travel initiatives, I've been looking/using other airlines.

1,732 YTD.
I'm now WN A-List for 2019.
I have some travel taped out on AS for later this year, but between award travel and moving business to WN, even getting to MVP is a 50/50 proposition (won't requalify for Gold). There is a mild incentive to get MVP if I am close since I have an SQ D fare that would be worth 5,000 extra RDM on AS if I am MVP, but that's like $100...

The match is a challenge and requires flying to retain for longer than 3 months. I'm most intentionally moving business to WN though. I don't know if I will retain A-List (it's probably either A-List or MVP but not both), but I figure I'd keep my options open.

Requalified for MVPG75K on May 10th. Two additional flights May 11th on AS. All outstanding flights posted on May 14th. EQM AS 13,699, AS+Partner 93,979. I lost 4,834 EQM and 5,625 RDM with the LATAM earnings changes that took effect after I purchased my ticket. It was not grandfathered in.
Additionally, I have flown 43,565 Miles on awards (AS 32,146, AA 11,419) and 5,139 miles on non-partner airlines. I would need to go through my AS+Partner flights and remove COS & Minimum EQM to determine the actual number of miles flown to date.
