And for people who travel frequently, this is hugely important and a great source of anxiety because
voice-verified
Airlines more or less gave everybody a year, an extra year to cover the pandemic.
voice-verified
So whatever status you had in 2019, you still have it.
voice-verified
But you're going to have to requalify in 2021.
voice-verified
And some airlines have cut the – reduced the levels that you have to reach in requalification.
voice-verified
And this is both in travel and in spending.
voice-verified
how much you spend with the airline.
voice-verified
So business travel plays a really important role in that.
voice-verified
And if your company's not sending you, you may be looking at a downgrade and that makes people crazy.
voice-verified
So some have reduced levels.
voice-verified
Some have said, hey, we'll include your 2020 travel as well.
voice-verified
There was some travel in 2020 and that'll help you requalify.
voice-verified
But I think you're going to see a scramble in the second half of the year if people feel more confident traveling.
voice-verified
They're going to be taking trips just to qualify for their elite levels.
voice-verified
And I think you'll also see airlines start, and this will come at the end of the year, start making offers to people who aren't able to requalify.
voice-verified
I would suspect, based on past history, that you're going to have to pay at this point to keep your status level.
voice-verified
I don't think they're just going to sort of blanket say, hey, here's an extra year for everybody.
voice-verified
But we'll see.
voice-verified
Always a pleasure, JR.
