I am confused. Hasn't ua1flyer done this several times already? The year end EQM rankings have had him above 1 MM for the past few years IIRC. Or is this the first time he has done 1MM in a year on United and United Express *alone*?

While he may have surpassed 1MM EQM in a one year before, I believe this is his first time achieving 1MM BIS in one year.

This accomplishment is for 1MM BIS miles not EQMS.

Congratulations, Tom!!
Congratulations, Tom!! Amazing feat. Seriously, you must have been on the road 90%+ this year in order to achieve this. Don't take this the wrong way, but I hope you do not repeat this achievement next year!

And they said it couldn't be done
Tom.....let me also chime in here. A truly remarkable accomplishment. It has been a privilege to fly with you over the years and to have a chance to share dinner with our understanding spouses.........Hopefully I will get my 1/2 mil next year. After seeing what you went through this year, there is no way that I would even think about a full mil!
Are you still asleep after crossing the finish line on 12/6?

Not just FT... A lot of people have been affected by the problems from the past several months.
Let's not forget all of the media that UA got about the move to SHARES, and the subsequent computer failures and other IT blunders..
But let's not try to divert the point of this thread too much..
Congrats, Tom ^
