Wow! That is a lot of flying. I just looked up my numbers and it is half that since my first flight with BA back in 1999.
Congratulations on the Gold for Life! I hope BA does not discontinue the programme and you will get to enjoy the perks for many years to come. I am aiming for Gold for Life as well, and it is somewhat unsettling to think that BA may just withdraw it at any point.

*If BA had given more notice, I would have been able to get GfL as I needed "just" 4k oTPs. Now, however, it's completely unattainable, so as a central Europe resident I chose to leave OW altogether.
That is too bad. Judging from the main thread about changing from BAEC to BAC, there were quite a few people within reach of GfL or GGLfL, who are now pushed into years of flying and much higher spend in order to achieve a lifetime status. I wish BA offered a way for them to reach their respective statuses in an easier manner.
