With EXP at 103 times to Sun - but assume an average of say 130,000, then that would mean around 75,000 EXP. Not sure if times flown to the sun is one way or round trip. If RT - then double the numbers ie 150,000 EXPs. And not sure on the average - could be lower maybe 120,000.

17 hours
4 times around the world
LAX-SYD was longest
Flew 787 the most (I dont remember flying it all this year)
Top 3% of EXP based on miles flown
Most of my travel this year has been on MH commuting in J from AKL to KUL weekly (but only since November). I ended the year with about 113k EQM. Cant believe thats top 3%.

Okay, how about this? Post Top % if you have it, and #times around the world
A pattern emerges, though there is one outlier already.
gary_nj, C17PSGR, potus18 and nrr posted a Top % figure but not their # times around the world.
Nov11 posted # times around the world but not Top % - maybe didn't get that info?
I think the # times around the world is roughly corresponding to BIS. They indicate in the email that flight miles include partner flights. We already know the correspondence between BIS and EQM is going to be fairly variable based on premium travel.
Based on what's been posted by about 845pm PST, the top 10% is in the range of 5-5.5x around the world, say 125,000 miles BIS. If I'm Top25% at 3x around the world, and razzaba is 1% at 8.5x around the world, you can already see what the distribution looks like.
As I posted earlier the clear implication is that within this Tier at least, a majority of members have BIS < EQM by 33-100%. This is likely to be true in the Plat Pro and Plat levels as well-- not sure about Gold. But probably, given the conversion to dual EQD/EQM requirements.
The outlier is bpauker, who posted 4x around the world but top 3% in miles flown.
