Booked: 15,260 for MKE-DTW-AMS-DXB (and back), and 2600+ for MKE-MEM-MCO / MCO-DTW-MKE. Both in March. So that gets me nothing by end of March 
Slow start to the year.
Planning ~5000 for holidays (although there's a possibility of a November Brazil trip to add to that), MKE-MSP-SAN (& return) for work plus hopefully a few Europe and one Asia trip for work. So, I should hopefully squeeze into gold or maybe even plat by year end.

12,340 flown for the year; 20 segments (8 on YX), in 6 weeks. Now, per Mrs. Phil2016, all travel is on hold until baby #2 arrives. Which (from a FT perspective) is a shame, because I am easily on track for PE by segments!

I am sitting at 20k and 30 segments. Will start going to the west coast for the next couple of weeks, that should put the miles on.

I am currently only at about 15k EQM earned this year so far. I've got another 35k between now and April though, so I should hit 50k by end of April. In May I have another 20k, so my hope is to re-qualify for Plat by mid-June. I'm sure there will be more thrown in, but given NW/DL, I might actually try to qualify for UA 1K instead of going for the SWUs on NW.

34K EQM so far. Another 8K the week after next with a multi-stop European trip (hmmm, really need to get that booked tomorrow), and then 14K for a flight to Japan in March, so I'll be at around 56K by the end of March.
Doesn't look like PE (PM?) will take very long at all this year ...

67,945 EQM through today--all in coach
, except op-up DTW-KIX and upgrade using miles on a Y-fare NRT-SEA
Will hit 09 Platinum on March 26 on MSP-HNL-SYD segment (HA is in B class so I will get EQM)

Hmm... currently only at 16kEQM + SJC-DCA end of the month should put me up to about 21kEQM. Then April holds SJC-LAX-NRT-PEK-NRT-LAX in Z which will net 20562, and May has SJC-PDX-AMS-OSL-AMS-MSP-SJC in Z which will net 18723, and then SFO-NRT-SFO (either in B or Y/Z depending on whether I can get the company to pay for a Y ticket, as it's $3300 for a Y ticket and only $4k for biz on Asiana, which makes it difficult to get them to pay for Y, although I can get them to pay $1700 for B which is still 150% EQM) at 15372 EQM for either B or Y/Z. So add that up and by the end of may, I should have about 75657 EQM.
So, given my booked travel, I will re-qualify for plat by the end of May. I'm debating whether or not I want to go for more SWUs, or whether I want to instead try to get 1K on UA. Then again, maybe I will be able to pull 420K EQM this year and do both
