It's actually lower than that because I've been flying FNT- DTW, a nominal 60 mile flight. Typically, I can be in my car at FNT 45 minutes after the wheels leave the ground at DTW.

Right now I'm at 102k/33 segments. About 20k flying on CO, so would have had an additional 10k EQMs if not for their silly 50%. So a bit over 3k per flight for paid tickets. If we're including rewards seats, I'd be at about 4k per segment, since most of my reward flights are 10-13.5 hours each.

I could have had 500, but then I started flying other then DTW-ORD. As of this email, I'm at 75166 with 75 segments, or 1001.546 EPS (EQM Per Segment). I had to take a lot of west cost MRs, to get it that high.

For 32 segments I'm now Plat, 2378 miles per segment. Obviously my LAX home as well as my 3 international trips gives me a higher per seg...

5937 per segment?
I find your segment length rather incredible. You'd have to be flying some 17 or 18 hour flights (Which no Skyteam partner does, that I'm aware of), since 5937 miles would be about 12 hours in the air, to get an almost 6000 mile average PER segment. The longest Skyteam flight I've taken is 13 1/2 hours.
