Delta eCerts

Does anyone else fly exclusively with Delta eCerts for business travel? I do roughly 180K/year on these in economy. It's been wearing on me lately, and I'm looking for any tips that would help me deal with it.

FYI the eCerts are vouchers from Delta - no miles gained, no upgrades possible.

Thanks!

180K BIS miles? There should be a special award given for anyone who flies that many in Y (presumably).

Our company has handed out similar certs. Basically delta gives them to us for free, but no upgrades, not even to C+. Great for non status people, but crappy otherwise. Also no MQM or MQD

Yup, your company must get the same ones. Bottom of the barrel tickets.

It's the no MQM/status benefits that's bugging me... 180k mi./year with no hope for anything above economy in sight!

No RDM's either? That's miserable. I feel like part of the unspoken agreement of traveling for work and getting ferried all around the globe is that at least you get some status and RDM's out of the deal to use in your personal/family life. I can't imagine flying that much and getting nothing.
