I know there are people who fly to Asia, Europe, or the Middle East nearly every week on the big international airlines, and exceed top-tier status by March or April each year, and they are way out of my league, but what kind of miles do the real AS road warriors put in?
Nothing like a good e-peen measuring question...
There isn't a "true" frequent flier on AS any more than there is a "fake" or a "false" one.
I think the easiest metric is the one already in use - MVP, MVPG, and MVP75K. MVP - frequent flier. MVPG - slightly more frequent. Etc, etc.
