Mods, I'd like to keep this as a separate thread from the main 2016 S100K qualification thread. I hope that's ok. Thanks!
Yesterday at the YYZ International MLL, one of the veteran and super nice AC MLL entrance staffers I see quite often at YYZ also commented on how much she sees me nowadays (the other agent said "didn't I see you yesterday too?!")
. We got talking for a bit and questions were asked. I divulged that by end of this month I will be over 110,000 AQM, which gobsmacked the agent. The agent then suggested I probably have the record for quickest to get 100,000 status miles to start the year, which I begged to differ... but then pondered the possibility of it. By January 28, 2016, I will surpass the 100,000 AQM mark. I started flying this year on January 2, so that makes 26 days.
Of course, there is some COS (many Y, PY, and J bookings) involved as well as one unlimited Latitude FP which is an auto 15,000 AQM for the month. Everything else is a la carte travel. Eight TPAC segments, three TATL segments, various non-pass domestic segments, and one Unlimited Latitude FP. My BIS AQM will be about 90,000 AQM and COS around 20,000 AQM. I don't know what my AQD total for January will be though, since it is latent information.
Of course, the fastest to 100,000 AQM is for someone who purchases enough unlimited FPs on January 1, 2016.
So anyone know what the stats are? Who would I ping at AC to get this information regarding my standing in relation to the rest (to keep privacy shenanigans at bay)?
For me this year:
Day to hit 100,000 AQM = January 28, 2016
Span to achieve 100,000 AQM = 26 calendar days (Jan 2 to Jan 28)
I'm sure there are others here who have beat me in both categories. If so, has AC reached out to you with special mention or small token gifts?
Anyway, all of this was spawned from my conversation with the MLL agent which got me thinking.
Other thoughts...
Would I do this again?
Hell no. I don't wish this upon anyone. Even the agent commented on how tired I looked, which was true... because I was exhausted.
I will probably take a break in February and only do 50,000 AQM
