this, exactly ... I have close to 200 nonstops in one direction or the other between Seattle and the five Los Angeles area airports (six if you include a Space-Available USAF hop between McChord AFB and Norton AFB), so that’s about 180,000 accumulated miles off the books; over 120 between the DC area (3) and the NYC area (3) wipe out around 20,000; close to 50 each SEA/LAX<—>NYC/WAS (10 unique routes) eliminate another 100,000
