I was just thinking , how long does it take for a crew member to fly a million miles. My guess is about 15 years. Any crew on here kept count?

Many thanks.

Fag packet calculations here, but generally a full time crew member does 4 trips a month.
So works approx 8 sectors per month.
If we take the average VS route to be about 4000 miles, accounting for much longer trips to JNB/LAX/SFO/PVG/CPT etc and accounting for shorter TLV/JFK/BOS.
We can say on average 8000 miles a week.
5 Weeks Annual Leave
47 x 8000 376,000 a year, so about 3 years to hit 1M miles.
Obviously if the crew member has a north east preference and does a lot of JFK/BOS/IADs then thats probably closer to 4/4.5 years etc, and just cos of frequency those trips tend to come up more often.
