Flight-related (excludes rollover, AmEx, one Hilton stay, and the charity donations) MQM of 149,430 thus far this year with 69 segments. Of course, I've also been based in a bonus MQM city for the second half of this year - my actual average segment length for flights thus far is approximately 1,450 miles. Two more revenue itineraries (eight scheduled flights) remaining this year before the Christmas / New Years international adventure.

Now seriously, if someone becomes a DM on segments of 200-300 miles on RJ's (not even Embrer's) they do deserve special treatment:
I know an excellent orthopedist and I think DL dimaond on CRJ/Saab segments should get their orthopedist bill covered by DL... I don't know how you guys do it. I am a DM, but I am mainly mainline and TATL/TPAC. With closer to 3,000 than 300 per flight, I guess some of you fly that on RJ's in two months... oh god, just thinking about it causes me pain.

137 MQS and holding
101k MQM without rollover, 106k with rollover
I'd rather have the rollover miles (26k or 31k) and know I've got an easy route to at least get PM next year than get DM this year. I flew FL this week so as to not trigger DM.

I finished the year with 114 segs and 235,594 MQM's. Thankfully nearly all mainline.

70 MQS, 38919 MQM, all BIS. Half on CRJ200. I have one more flight on 12/31 that will add +1 MQS and +600-ish MQM.
I wish they'd roll over segments. But every time I get cranky about it, I remember that I'd barely be FO if they didn't grant status on segments and if there weren't also the 500 mile minimum. (About 40% of my flights were only about 135 miles.)
I didn't start flying Delta 'til April... could've made PM if I'd made the decision to stick with one airline sooner. Next year.
BTW, what is up with requiring 100 segments for PM instead of 90?
25K MQM / 30 MQS for FO
50K MQM / 60 MQS for GM
75K MQM / ...100 MQS for PM?
It should be 90 MQS for PM.
Y'know, so I'm higher on the upgrade list for all those CRJ flights {grins}.
For the type of flying I do, GM is actually probably good enough. It would be nice to get the extra PM bennies, but it's not a huge goal of mine.
(Remind me that when I'm planning 8 segment "segment runs" next fall if I get fixated on making PM next year.)
