I was feeling the same way until I found out that SEA-LAX (my standard route) will be mostly CRJs and 737s next year. Pretty much deflated my desire to make 1P.

If the DEQM promo comes along within the next few weeks, I'll probably make 1K this year, albeit is a 1K-lite :rolleyes:
If not, I'm stuck at 1P |

Regarding the frequency - we must be looking at different days. Weekdays in Feb and onward (through Aug), I see 2 735s and 2 CR7s in both directions. Back on topic... I guess I just can't justify DEQM or a Mileage Run now that I've found out that my chances for upgrades are in the toilet. A shame too... I was looking forward to the DEQM promo and dropping the $$ on it rather than having to do a MR. |
The DEQM Anticipation Scale
0: I'm making my desired status level anyways. Sucks to your assmar. The scale is undergoing transformation over time, effectively stretching out the upper ends of the scale to greater and greater levels of anxiety. If nothing is announced by this coming Monday, I might just lose it.1: I'm making my desired status level anyways, but it's fun watching you all freak out. 2: I'm making my desired status level anyways, but I might consider making a run for elite choice benchmarks or extra SWUs. 3: I'm flying anyways, I'd probably buy DEQM to make 1P or 2P if it were cheap enough. 4: I usually make 1K, but I won't this year without DEQM. But I'm 1K-equivalent on other mileage programs that I'd prefer to send my business to anyways. 5: I usually make 1K, and I won't this year without DEQM. 1P's not so bad, though, and I'm not planning on flying too much next year. 6: I'm making my desired status level anyways, but I really, really want those extra SWUs. 7: I could make 1K without DEQM, but I really don't want to make a SIN run! 8: I absolutely require DEQM to make 1P, and 1P would be pretty sweet. 9: I'm 1K and totally addicted, and there's no way I make it this year without DEQM. Serenity now! 10: I've never made 1K but covet nothing more in this world; I've been counting on DEQM; and there's no way I can make 1K without it! UA gods, hear my prayers! |

The 2xEQM promotion would not do me any good this year.
I have not been able to travel sufficiently in 2007. So after a good 10 years of being 1K I will be back down to a humble 1P next year. A GS friend said he would upgrade me with his SWUs whenever I need them, as he always buys full fare F tickets. Oh well... I will have to work hard to go back to 1K. I am certainly counting on it. :) |

2: I'm making my desired status level anyways, but I might consider making a run for elite choice benchmarks or extra SWUs. Depends on price. Great chart!!! ^ |
I will just make 1P this year without DEQM. My currently planned travel means that with DEQM I would be a 1K-lite, but the promo would have to start within the next 2 weeks. Not too likely, I'm afraid.
I'll be happy with my humble 1P this year, considering I am currently a 0P, that's enough of a bump for me. I'll make 1K easily by the middle of next year so that will just have to be good enough. Stupid question on DEQM... How does it work with COS bonus? For example: 4000 mile trip in paid C = 4000 base miles + 2000 COS bonus + 4000 DEQM = 10000 total? Or (4000 base + 2000 COS) * 2 DEQM = 12000? |

Serenity Now
6: I'm making my desired status level anyways, but I really, really want those extra SWUs.
I will hit 150K organically, but could really use the DEQM to barely reach 200K and would pay the fee for the extra SWUs. Love that chart! If they really want to drive revenue UAL should offer EQMs / DEQMs and SWUs on their own private eBay site. |

Period. All of this talk of "pure 1Ks, etc." is a bunch of hogwash, perpetuated by class-conscious egoists. If I make 1K this year, it will only be because UA offers the DEQM promo. And I'm already planning for next year - my travel is looking to be a bit thin, so my plan will be to wait for the DEQM promo and take several MRs to make 1K. So I'll be happy to meet all of the "pure 1Ks" in the elite boarding (Red Carpet) area, ready to take my C seat (upgraded with an SWU, of course) and enjoy the benefits of my legally-obtained, 100% genuine 1K status! |

Let's be clear about one thing: there is no such level of status as "1K-lite." If you have earned 1K status, you are a 1K.
