These people are nuts, but deep down inside I'm a little jealous that I'm not out making these crazy runs and earning mega miles in my ff program. One question though -- I don't understand how Gabriel earned 4 million miles by having ten local Thai people fly the $8 route 4x/day for 6 weeks. Since it wasn't him flying, he couldn't earn the miles himself, which means his Thai "employees" had to either gift or transfer the miles to him. Maybe back in 2001 you could do that for free, but not these days. What a great video.
