I think it is also a lot harder to hit the higher levels from the lower levels. Easier to retain than earn from scratch.
You have hit it on the head, almost everything is from extreme west coast (Reno) to eastern side of the country. maybe ~2,800 miles BIS each way. Typically mid-$600 each flight.

All the best, James

I 100% think business travel will come back, just not 100%. I think first client meetings, for example, will be face to face, but those quarterly check-ins may be a zoom call. Before the pandemic, people were also hungry to stay at home and be with their family more, whether they realize it. I don't think many folks will be willing to give that up to go back to flying across the country for something that could be done on a zoom call.
