Hello all! After reading countless posts over the last few weeks, I have decided to join up with this amazing informational resource. I may not have much to contribute as of yet, but will always be seeking suggestions for travel, mileage, etc. If any of you find yourselves at the lovely GUC via a Dash8-200 "vomit comit" from DEN or an A319/320 (ski season only!) please let me know!
-Matt

Thanks for the warm welcome, here's to hoping I can contribute to this incredible resource!!! And maybe even fly enough to someday get status... Stuck @ 15K-ish a yr right now... but not bad for a college student right?

Ski CB, many of us start our FT travel modestly as you do. Many then achieve impressive status through almost all personal travel or almost all work travel; and some through both. If status is important, of course, concentrate your flying on carriers/alliances where you can build miles best to that status given your travel patterns.

And some of us start out knowing everything (or act like we do, anyway)!
