Sure, but I'm sure you see the point I was making
KF : how long does it take a flyer who each year earns Emerald, and who isn't ever going to be given CL etc, to earn Life Status ? If the answer is very different on different OW carriers, then being able to compare in such a chart would be most useful.
The bit I wrote just gives a guide to how long it can take in QF, using the longest way (a person earning Emerald each year) can get there as a marker - how does the equiv. 'longest way' compare on AA for e.g. ? (I.e. if a person in the AA scheme re-earns EXP each year by reaching
exactly the miles etc needed to do so, how many years will it take them to get to Life status ?)
Seems to me the obvious way to compare, and links the comparison with the Emerald nature of the chart.
Though working this all out may just be too complicated/not worth the time - but that's for
FLYGVA to decide I guess !
