Greetings from Amtrak -- where I'm traveling backwards once again. Acela F isn't bad -- but I think the business seats are just as comfy.

I am still trying to figure out why you are counting EQMs at all....lifetime? or maybe, hoping for a new 8 tier system in 2010 and intro into top tier? :D

I'm working toward MM status. Every little bit helps. This year has been a banner year for me, though the last two years have put me well above the 75k Platinum threshold. Usually I just hit 75k in mid December.

Nope. But my Louisiana client drives me to drink too, for entirely different reasons.

I appreciate your efforts ^

I was set for hitting plat this year at the end of Oct/Nov, with DEQM looking like mid/end Oct now, I was hoping for mid Sept/early Oct but I had to postpone a trip due to maybe selling my house, got a lot of work to do around here to prep.

Gerveedish is my native tongue. This outright discrimination against us is unconscionable.
