Clarify also - - do you have any interest in talking to us baby boomers who have been flying since we were teenagers - - and have accumulated a million miles, even if not all in one program? (Of course, FF programs have only been around since the early 80s - - I already had flown a lot of miles before they came along!)

I have certainly accumulated way more than a million "miles" (I wonder if even half of them are BIS) - - though my leading lifetime program is only 730k (AA), then AmEx MembershipRewards, (438k), then OnePass (328k), then NW 160k, then DL 149k, then USAir 144k (this counts 18k transferred over from America West, but it does not include 215k on America West that were "earned and burned" pre-merger). And Southwest, which does not measure in miles - - if they did I have earned fewer than 40k with them - - though Rapid Rewards remains useful to me, since it can be "topped up" cheap from AmEx Membership Rewards). So, my lifetime total is about 2.16 million miles.

It was rather interesting to assemble these totals, as OnePass has no mechanism for lifetime tracking of total miles. But packrat that I am, I have all my old paper statements in a file cabinet.

I rather imagine that my numbers are very average (or maybe well below average) for lots and lots of FTers.
