Are you guys seeing both DEQAA and DEQ11 posting tonight? I'm still missing one segment of DEQAA from 1/21 due to two SFO-ORD round trips starting on the same day messing up their system.

Never could have believed.... starting Jan 19th with the question, "Is it this simple?" and then, brp's now historic answer (at least in my mind), "No. It's simpler."
And now, Feb 15th, EXP?
Thanks to brp for among other things, showing me the wide ranging possibilities of stacking, Roger D408 for putting money into my pocket with Costco discounts, 2millionquest who on top of managing the numbers STILL had time to answer newbies questions (amazing), mingw, Science Goy, who never let an un-researched, often asked question go unanswered.
And everyone else.
Brains and civility exist, so cool to be part of this group.
Huge thanks.
Oh, BTW.. everything (DEQAA/DEQ11) has posted up to and including Feb 11.

Yesterday, I flew ORD-LAX-ORD, ORD-SFO-ORD. There were some differences versus the January mileathon that we all did.
I got exit rows on 3 of 4 segments ^, (with empty seats in the row), flights weren't anywhere near full ^, nobody in the middle next to me, as opposed to me being in the middle a few times in Jan!
But, ORD AC is now charging $9 for the Sapporos that we were drinking like they were water. That would be expensive water. Had to drink Miller Light last night. The SFO AC was a ghost town. Bartender said it was because of Valentine's day.

It was pretty painful. Especially the red-eyes. Most especially the mid-week overnight turns where I went to ord right from work flew to sfo, took the redeye back, showered in the lounge and went right back to work.
In the end, I still think it was worth it. Had my first taste of AA First this morning on a flight to LGA. Slept through it - which is the best way to spend a morning flight. hopefully I'll never have to fly Y again.

Well, I made EXP last weekend. I completed 9 RTs ORD-SFO in January for the 99,684 EQMs and on my Friday (2/10) trip to Newark I crossed the 100,000 mark. On the way back, on Monday (2/13), as a new EXP I received my first upgrade. It wasn't much - no meal service on the mid-morning flight. But, it felt great - I made it.
Thanks, again to Toomanybooks and 2Millionquest and to all the other great FTs I met in the process.

I also want to say thank you to Toomanybooks and 2Millionquest for their effort to coordinate this! Glad to meet so many FTers on the road. My two weeks (Jan15-Jan30) paid off, now I am officially an EXP!

Not as bad as walking a mile in the snow to catch the school bus but each trip involved an immediate lay flat on the back to get the spine back in place.
