You get 420 TP’s for one RT F long haul trip. I probably fly those 10-12 times per year, and quick math says you would need around 240 RT’s to hit lifetime GGL.
That would take me a minimum of 20 years, and to be honest I really hope that I’m not flying as frequently as I am now for 20 more years!

I mean, we are all spending around 100k or more per year with AA and get no significant lifetime benefits.
If you switch to BA with that type of spend, at least lifetime BA Gold would be doable. This means lifetime AA EXP equivalence. Lifetime FFL access/OWE status at 35,000 tier points.
I think most of us can generate close to 5-10k tier points per year with CK travel frequency and class of service.
