I'm a total aviation geek and get a "high" each time I board an aircraft.. the magic that I experienced when I first flew as a child has stayed and I certainly do wish to be able to fly much often than I currently do. However, when I read stories such as these, and look at the big picture, I cannot help but wonder what all these Bingham-like folks must've given up in terms of time they couldn't spend with their loved ones or just not having done more of things that really matter..

Airlines would obviously love for frequent fliers to be obsessed with such "milestones", but I'd rather spend the better part my time doing things that are more meaningful for me and for those around me.
