Was that difficult? I'm genuinely curious about United's rewards program. Their flights are cheap from LGA>ORD, so I've been debating flying them

Wow BCG1, to get from Gold to EP by EOY must mean your client is a pretty long way away...Gonna be a lot of butt-in-seat time for you the next three months. Good luck!

@SC1 I was worried about status this year because I spent a few months on the beach. Difficulty really depends on where you'll be flying versus their status qualifications. Platinum is doable in a calendar year on segments alone but you really need to be staffed the entire year. If you're flying relatively far every week (e.g, coast to coast) hitting even 1k is easy

Nice @BCG1...international project?!

And @A1 yep I have an international trip coming up in December so will use that to get me over the 1k hump 😄

Lololol Jesus BCG1 must be nice

Nice work, being Group 1 is really a big deal considering the amount of Group 2... I made 1K last week so I hope you manage to make it by EOY

Yeah P1 looking forward to group 1 boarding...group 2 is way too saturated now. Congrats on 1k!

Book recommendation - "Ride of a lifetime" by Robert Iger. Story of someone who started as a studio operator and went on to become the CEO of Walt Disney.

Really relatable to most of us who are employees and not entrepreneurs. Books on Steve Jobs, Elon Musk are all good but I loved Robert's story more as I could relate and aspire. How he takes tough decisions, how he negotiated with Steve Jobs to acquire Pixar, his honesty, humility etc. are all something we can learn from. Go for it fishes 😄
