Most Million Miler Miles without "Completing the Fleet" ?
 
So I'm sitting here in my HNL hotel suffering some wicked jetlag and wide awake at 1AM local time and it got me thinking about starting a new 'fun' thread here on FT (yes, there's such a thing on the DL forum these days, right?).
---------------------------------------------------

After nearly 420,000 lifetime Million Miler miles on DL, I finally have my first flight booked on one of their 767s (HNL-SLC this coming Fri).

I'm curious about others with significant LT DL MM miles without flying on a particular type of craft. I'm not referring to every config of every craft, just the main body types

I'm sure there's some FTrs with 1MM status without "Completing the Fleet" and I'd love to hear some #'s.

2MM, never have flown A330 series or 777LR, very few MD-90 trips. Data may be skewed because of introduction of NW aircraft and the routes they service.

As a MM I have never flown 747, 330, 777

I have just over a quarter of a million miles and I've flown all of the current Delta fleet with the exception of the 747-400.

Hope to get there soon...

SAAB (has cancelled all 3 times I was supposed to fly)

The big Airbus

I bet I could score high on retired aircraft...

DL doesn't fly the big Airbus.

2.9MM and I still haven't flown a B747, A319 or A320.

Well the "big" airbus for DL is the 330.

OP is asking about different "main body types".

RJ85?

The wings on top made it very unique.

The only thing I hated about that plane was the FC was right by the engines.

The seats in that RJ-85 were the best NW/DL had until they rolled out the lie-flats on the triple-7. Too bad they had 4 engines and sucked too much fuel, although from what I heard they were the only aircraft certified to get into a few airports due to having 4 engines.

Anyway, sitting at 987k, so almost a million miles .... never been on a DL/NW B-747 or the A-330. Done just about all the rest, including the Fabulous B-727, (DC-10)MD-11 and L1011.

I was on a 747 a few times but SABENA ran the flight years ago JFK-BRU when I lived in Leuven.

1.2 MM and never been on a 777.
