For those who don't recall, the OP previously did another mega-mileage run back in January 2004 (which, upon reading the thread again, was his first MR):
AA: Mega Mileage run - incl FLY04, EUR04, JPN04, etc...
I think we are definitely all in awe of you.

(Can do it by flying even less thanks to generous minimum miles eg 2500 for intra-europe international business class on certain airlines.)
I am sure you could do it.

way to go dude
I did it in 55 days last spring on UA. Made it to 99.600 before they messed up and I got stuck. Hope the weather is on your side and you make the whole 100k in one piece. worse case is more vouchers

Any value in earning top-tier in two airlines in the same alliance?

Yes - I have 3 on the same alliance (and others not in that alliance). Tend to be special perks on top tier when flying home airline. Plus ability to utilise differences in earning and burning on different itineraries to extract more value.
