I don't have my log at hand right now, but I'm sure that most of my 131 segments in 2007 were in the back of the bus ... I didn't hit Gold on either CO or DL until late in the year, and I know full well that 30 early segments were solely to get status on AA in order to select decent coach seats for the IAD-LAX-KOA/HNL-LAX-DFW-IAD award trip
probably not 100k, but 75-80k isn't beyond the realm of possibility
