Sounds like a lot to me.
Not really.
As to the 22 years, if you consider many people mighht have had an Aeroplan account for a while before they got into serious flying, it's not unreasonable either.
If I look at my own profile, I got an aeroplan account around 1993. Did not fly all that much until 1997 or so when I first made 35k elite. Superelite since probably 2002.
