"Around 700,000" is more believable than "well over a million paid actual miles a year," as claimed.

1. You have done a complete somersault on this.

2. You earlier posted re the above you "do not believe either myself or B-Watson". And that "I don't believe that for a minute. An urban legend for frequent flyers". So you now DO believe it? Or half of it? Or do you reserve the right to do yet another back-flip on your view????

3. When you have been around Flyertalk a little more than a couple of weeks your views hopefully will change. Insult my beautiful country all you like (and others will make their own judgement on the politeness and wisdom of that) but do NOT call me and other Flyertalkers liars please.

4. If you care to actually READ and hopefully comprehend what I posted, I simply used B_Watson as an EXAMPLE of a Flyertalker in our midst who I know flies big miles - as he has told me so. For all I know there are FT'ers who fly more than he does. I simply used an example I know to be correct, as Barton is in SYD each month or so from GRR - and also flies heavily to Asia, Europe, Sth Africa etc as well as he runs a large global business with several 1000 staff.

5. I was NOT saying the Qantas flyer with a million a year flown and anyone on FT was the one person. You appear to be the only one on this thread that mis-read that.

6. There are presumably many thousands of folks out there who fly more than B_Watson does each year, but I can believe at that flying level have no interest in READING about flying on FT or anywhere else when you do it half your waking days.

7. If you bothered to have an email address visible I would have shared this commentary by email. Most folks do have one visible. Your choice, not mine.
