Don't forget that until recently cashing in earned stickers (which an EXP flying only paid F internationally would never use otherwise) would have added another 10K to that total, so less than 30 Chicago - Rome RTs (a little more than twice a month) could put someone at a million miles earned that year from travel alone.

I believe the focus is on FLOWN miles (butt-in seat miles) per year.
You can earn a million miles in 5 minutes with one huge credit card charge.
