Mmm...he has got me thinking...but I can tell you this:

One cannot (with today's scheduled airline service) fly 30,000 miles in 24 hours. (Average aircraft speed of 500 miles/hour x 24 hours = 12,000 miles flown.)

He says per day...so that implies doable consecutive days...thus less than 24 hours.

Beaubo - many of us think in terms of EQMs with Mileage runs - so a 60K mileage run = 60K EQM

Is 60K EQM out there... or is it just 60K spendable miles?
