First of all ualtopdog, welcome to FlyerTalk. Glad to have UA's #1 top flyer on board with us It looks like you've been flying well over 20k miles/week. Thats impressive. Are these trips mainly RTs to Asia, or mainly Europe/South America. I ask because you say that
Just became UAL's top flyer with 380,000 actual flown miles this year. Have 27 more int'l trips left for the year which will net me a total of 537,000 for the year.
which indicates that for the balance of the year, assuming that you only fly interntional RTs, your average RT (assuming again that 27 refers to RTs and not segs) will be about 5800 miles, which indicates that you must have a lot of trips towards Central America, with a few European trips thrown in. So, up till now you were either doing about 1 RT/week to Asia, or 2 or more per week elsewhere! Interesting travel patterns.

I thought I was flying a fair bit this year, but up to the end of April, I barely broke 150k YTD actual miles. So, compared with your pace, I am sub-amateur (novice at best).

I hope that you decide to frequent these boards, and share your insights and opinions over in the UA forum from the perspective of a UFF (ultra FF) as to what it is like to call UA 'home'
