Sadly, Yes
If there was not an industry wide DEQM, I would only be silver on DL/NWA, but I would still make 1K on segments

For this status year, yes. For next, no. I was planning on a graceful fall to 1P next February until this year's DEQM was announced. ^

The year isn't over. Most of my trips are the boss saying I need you to go to XXX ASAP. So can't tell.

yep.
Started this year's flying on Mar. 11 and currently sit at 73,xxx total EQM. I have at least 3 more trips to GRU this year and a couple of trancons. I'll probably hit 125,xxx organically and 160,xxx+ with DEQM.

Yes. Ironically, this year we've already flown over 120,000 BIS miles. We anticipate the extra SWUs but doubt there'll be any carry-miles-forward offers for 2010.

Yes. In fact, depending on when DEQM hits, I may already be 1K.

Not at all for me. If anything w/o the DEQMs I would end the yr at '0' EQMs and now will be a 1k and proabably earn it the hard way for 2011. Flew 54k during DEQM, w/o DEQM I wouldnt have flown UA nor 3 of the 4 trips
But still feel all the Carriers should have only done it on those Routes where they faced competition from the other US Carriers, instead of doing it system-wide.
My gain
