To me, the statement that he's DM on segments means less than 125,000 MQMs per year. If we take the number of segments required for DM (150? I typically make DM with only about 30 segments) times 500, this would give a lower bound for his MQMs per year, assuming that elites always got at least 500 per segment. Paid FC of course would increase this by 50-100%, although was there a time that domestic FC tickets earned 300%?
