1MM here as well, and also very disappointed that AA killed the SJC-NRT flight. I flew SJC-LAX-NRT a couple of weeks ago (much cheaper than the SFO-NRT nonstop, plus I needed this to hit PLT), and wound up delayed by a day getting to NRT as it happened to be the one day a year that SJC was fogged in. Never again - it'll be UA from now on.
I don't know if I'll ever hit 2MM, though, as today AA/OneWorld seems to barely exist (almost no international flights, as well as AAbandoning SJC) for the sixth largest population center in the United States.
