It could be far more extreme than your estimate.
I (PE) will finish the year at approx. 90K EQM's, wife (SE) at 33 EQM's. Figure 5% inflation for the double EQM's promotion, so that's about 86K miles flown + 80K bonus miles (lower bonuses on DL) for me, 31K flown and 14K bonus for her.
Non-air miles (including partners, contests & customer service compensation) have totaled 97K for me, 25K for her over the past 12 months.
So, rough estimate, 86K (32% of total) butt-in-seat miles for me + 181K other miles, 31K (43% of total) butt-in-seat miles for wife + 41K other miles.
