Johnso,
I took Ferd's post to mean someone who spends a lot but doesn't fly much.
For example I have a good friend/snowmobile buddy who owns an excavating business. He doesn't really fly much for business or pleasure but he puts everything on his AMEX card...to the tune of about $1.5M a year. He and his wife/family often take great vacations and they fly first class on Delta everywhere using up those AMEX Skymiles.
