Regardless of AAdvantage changes, I was already burned after 5 years and stopped the nonsense.

For how long can one be a mileage runner?
It depends on how you define "mileage running." The pure turnaround MR- I can see that getting old pretty fast.

We base the amount of flying we do each year on getting EXP. We plan trips (2 days here, 3 days there, 4 days in Europe) to get enough miles. But we stay there and enjoy the places, so there is no burnout.

10 years and counting.

Now I'll have to plot how best to fit into the New World Order.

Cheers.
