Except Me!
I literally do nothing but fly to gigs now and after hundreds of flights I STILL can't sleep on a plane. Drives me bananas!

Same here Brian. ~400,000 air miles all over the world for my day job and probably can count the total hours of sleep on both hands. Makes flying overseas very boring.

I guess I am blessed, if very tired I am out as we taxi to the runway. If not I will have a light snack, read a little and I am out in an hour and I don't wake up until the flaps start to come out or if exhausted when the wheels hit the runway.
I miss the 100k years. Took the family on some amazing trips, gave away some killer presents to friends too. I still earn a bit on my American Exec card and get lounge privileges but once my last 1.2M miles are gone those days are over. That's not flown mileage that includes to card points for the purchase, Y class bonuses and other upgrades.
I would say I was flying close to 100k actual miles. I use to put 1/2 the teams room charges on my card, it was amazing what they left on the table. My largest win was I was in charge of a trade show booth. I found out they were sweating how to get the funds distributed, I said I will just expense it. That was over 100k, took a couple hours on the phone to get my limit raised. That earned a weekend in London for 2.
