Kudos for going on the 4 runs but 3 should get you more than enough points to requalify, IIRC.

Aye. Some of their redemption values are lousy. However, they are great for Australia and Far East Asia (120K return in C), S. America (60K return in C, 100K in F), and the Extra Stopover en route to Europe/S. Africa is a neat trick, as well.

2 Will do it if routed along the TPA-IAD-AUS/SAT/DFW/IAH-DEN-ONT Zig-Zag route.

Well, it sounds like I may soon be added to the list of unemployed members of The Box.

The writing has been on the wall for a few months now, so I can't say I'm completely surprised. I'm going to see if my consulting company has any other opportunities that I can pursue, but this situation is also giving me a good kick in the butt to ramp up a job search in other parts of the country as well. Life goes on...

Anyone need an IT PM with experience in IT compliance and web-technologies?

I would have done it for a recognition on your site and $1,000. <shrug> That photographer made out like a bandit and he/she knows it.

I'm sending the job fairy up to you and Olton Hall. For what it's worth, consider Austin. Austin is a big IT town, and there is a rather well known giant IT firm HQ just down the road in Round Rock, and I'm sure you could find something in the area. Moreover, there are still many teaching gigs open across the state for your wife. Just something to consider.

Can you connect in South America when traveling from the US to Europe?

I may have to do this, just for the lines. ;) I kind of wanted to do SFO-ONT as well.

Doing zig-zag on the way there and ONT-SFO-LAX-ORD-TPA on the way back yields almost as many miles. :-:

TPA-ORD-HNL-SFO-ONT comes to mind :D

UA's not all that bad!

You can do AUS/DFW/IAH-SFO-ONT as well and I think that will land you more miles.

I would gladly do it, but how do I get them to put me on ORD-HNL-SFO-ONT? Just tell them there's been a schedule change and I'd like to go that route?

I don't think those work going Westbound, as DFW/IAH-SFO leave in the morning, and there is only one flight per day.

I'm pretty sure you killed the HNL routing for the rest of us.
