I'm not convinced there are enough crazy people to bring the top 20 much higher than last time
Good thinking. Well I'll throw myself out there as well then. I'll manage around 110,000 wings and will have a bunch of lat tickets booked in the window just in case that can take me up to 125k, if others decide they want to fight me for my precious (miles). I'd encourage others aiming for the top 20 to post theirs honestly, to help our fellow FTers on the sidelines decide whether they really want to contribute to AC's bottom line needlessly for no reward.
