I have flown 568K BIS on UA siince joining MP in 1982. That works out to about 22K / year. But as of '00 I had flown only 36K on UA. My average since making UA my "airline of choice" at that time is more like 65K. Once I discovered FT, that number has averaged over 80K per year and I have been a 1K since 12/04. This year my BIS miles will be about 95K.
