Fly safe and live vicariously, Tom. Auto is one of my supply chain customers and they are a great bunch to work with, I agree.

15 Million Strong!
Hit 15 million tonight on my flight from LAX-SYD. Seems like only yesterday when I hit 10 million. There has been some bumps, but overall...smooth sailing.

Congrats Tom. Truly an achievement to be celebrated.

Do you track/map your flights with a website like FlightDiary or OpenFlights? Would love to see them.

Wow, Amazing! I assume that includes the uplift UA did at the merger? I am curious how many true BIS that is. I know the 10M was all BIS since before the merger, right?

15 Million -- amazing. Congrats on this milestone.

Will you hit 20? 25? I sort of hope not.. for your sake!

Tom recently posted in the PQM roll call thread that he envisioned slowing down and not reaching 20MM. Retirement in the near future???

Congratulations! Hope you continue to enjoy flying but also learn to slow down to enjoy the more important things in life.

Congrats Tom. I frequently see you in the ORD GFL but I figured I'd leave you alone (I get your virus emails from time to time too). You must be tired of us mortal groupies.

I was there when you hit 10M and that does seem like yesterday. Congrats again!

Don't be a stranger in the lounge. At least let me apologize for those emails!!

Just spent Thanksgiving with the family in Hawaii ,I am here in Melbourne after attending my best friend's charity event yesterday to help raise over 200,000 dollars for children's cancer(in honor of his son who died 10 years ago at 2 1/2 years old from brain cancer) I am spending this weekend in San Diego with my wife, flying my family to Chicago the following weekend for a family reunion the following weekend and then Taking my wife to Binton and Singapore for Christmas vacation. I don't know about the slowing down part, but I never lose sight on the important things.....my family and my friends.

That's almost halfway from the Earth to Venus (at its closest point)!

Congrats Tom! Enjoyed your TV show as well. Watched up in the air last week and thought the whole time "This guy has nothing on Tom"

Congratulations, Tom. UA will have to throw you another shindig at a hub of your choice and maybe create a new level to recognize this unique achievement: lifetime super, titanium, zirconium + 15 other rare earth elements!
