EQM- elite qualifying mile
RDM - redeemable mile (non-elite qualifying)
BIS - butt-in-seat
EQS - elite qualifying segment
And, for future reference (for yourself and other people reading this), FT's Glossary has a lot of information on other commonly used terms here.
Welcome to FT!

OK......here is one not listed in the glossary, and I have asked a few people who also did not know.
What is a "DO?" In reading the term in some of the posts, I take it to be some type of get-together, but I can't figure out the acronym.
cheers

many people use YMMV, which i think means "your mileage may vary"....
often, it doesn't seem to make sense in the context of the post....
is there another translation[s]? or have i got it wrong?

I may not have posted much, but as a reader of these forums I've noticed that many people like yourself with high post counts tend take a somwhat contemning and elitist attitude in followup posts when a newbie makes an innocent or ignorant error in a post. Face it, someone new may see a topic where it makes sense to post their question. Next thing you know, they're getting barbs from you guys. Perhaps it's just a way for you to get your gratification by increasing your post count by 1. But hey, whatever makes you feel like a "contributor"... Why not just bring it up with the mods if it intrudes on your FT experience that much.
