Watched this movie about two weeks ago, and all I can think of is how to get an extensive frequent flyer mileage in your pocket? I'd definitely use it wisely as part of my retirement plan :).
The movie talks about Ryan Bingham's (Clooney) obsession to hit a certain number of his frequent flyer miles (later on we know it is 10 million miles). Yep...I know, it just sounded too much for an ordinary people. However, that didn't happen in the movie, as Bingham was likely to achieve that mileage due to his 'super mobile' job on Career Transition Counseling that requires him to fire people from one place to another. If I'm not mistaken, he travels approximately 320 days out of 365, which makes him a man who take s*** more often in the air, rather than sitting nicely on his apartment's toilet. However, on his way to achieve his target, Ryan's life may change when the company hires Natalie Keener, a Cornell graduates who recommends the company to change its nature of work by conducting the "firings" via remote computer access. This shortly means that Bingham is being grounded. Bingham believes that Natalie doesn't fully understand the nature of the business, so he rejects the proposal, although the main reason is that he isn't ready to leave all the joy of travelling and living out of a suitcase.
