Got to say that what has been reported is somewhat underwhelming, I was close to 3000 SC last year through domestic only flying and with the changes to PG levels lost the drive to go beyond WP requal, nothing has changed that today I am afraid, at least for me.
Just added up the past 12 months flying - just under 6000 SC's earned, only 2250 SC's on QF. Requalified platinum weeks after new membership year, thinking that I am now moving to AA.
I have 54,000 BIS Miles between now and the end of this calendar year, all booked at B or above - so thats 81000 EQP's (I think - if ive muffed it somehow let me know), so an easy qualification for Platinum (OWS) for 2012 on AA. Mix of flying on QF/CX/AA so not any point doing a Plat challenge, but lines me up with 100% bonus for 2012.
Already I have 43,000 BIS Miles booked up until my QF requalification date at the end of May 2012 - again all booked in Premium cabins, so 64,000 EQP's.
I have a PASA booked in June that will requal me as Platinum on QF into 2013, and if travel remains about the same next year as this would probably his 200-300K EQP's on AA by December.
I know some of you guys are well ahead of me in doing this, but I was holding out for P1, but looks like instead i'll go for dual OWE instead.
