In any event, rant over.
I will tell you what get's my goat. Most of the first time last time posters looking for MR's they will NEVER fly don't say thank you. If you post that you need 3K from BOS, and 4 people give you a reasonable reply just say "Thanks." Is is THAT hard to log in one more time and say thank you. I don't care if you fly the MR because I doubt you will but please say thank you to the people who answered your question(s).

You need to find a computer guru to develop something that can track that.

And what's EQP?
my favourite... though a bit inaccurate; as a second thread would have been started for "what's EQP" question.

I'm at 1,011,444 Million Miler miles on AA. I'd like to be at 2MM by the end of the year. Any ideas?

PAR/D has 3 daughters, maybe marrying one of them could help tremendously.

I hear you my friend. Not just all of this first time poster asking for ideas, most of them do not give the whole info, airport, dates, budget, carrier. Its like we have to guess it for them. The ones that really bug me are the simple ones, <1000 EQM or EQP, seriously, just book a trip, or those that signed up for the challenge and are coming short, they are getting a break and still cant make, but I manage to make my time to do my part. In the end, the majority of them will be back again on FT next year on a different handle, but with the same story, long time lurker, first time posting (?) and I'm going to be 3k miles short for GOLD. WOW,

Any advice on getting Elite Status for my WorldPass? I can't find any cheap Pan Am flights for a MR

I just got done with my MR from 0 to 100K. It took just one week and it was all in F for $500. Someone probably lost their job for that one

I'm starting mine tomorrow. Going RTW a couple times and I timed it right so that I can use the dateline to my advantage. My last flight leaves at 11:59 Thursday. Got it for 2CPM.

Hey guys sorry for being late in the game, but I need ~25,000 EQP out of ELM by the end of the year. I prefer if it's in business class and under $3k.

kthanksbye

EDIT: Oh and I'd like it if it were on weekends and evening departures.
