Having relatively little work to do (our University is under student occupation!), I transferred my travel data since 1999 from a few Excel files into this. What a shock! I saw everything consolidated together for the first time, including the stats produced! Who cares about how often you travell to the moon and back. What hit me is when I realized that I've spent a few months (months like in 4 weeks or 30 days) of the last 6 years inside planes. And these times don't even include circling around over JFK, neither landing on the Polderbaan nor waiting for start clearance or a passenger still shopping in Schiphol! Perhaps in future I should send my two most frequently used airlines the bills for the massages I need. And then, going further, I wonder how come of the thousands (yes!) of flight attendants I dealt with in these many flights, only few were worth writing/complaining about here in FT...
