'As someone who has flown...'

Hi, please have a look at this:

As someone who has flown Emirate in the past year, you will have experienced
our outstanding service to the Middle East.
=> Do you find the bold part weird? I think it should be 'must have' or 'have'...

Many thanks,
Nessie

I don't know... I think if it had been: If you have flown with us, you will have experienced ... I could buy that.
I think with the "As someone who has...," the "you have..." makes more sense. The "will have" seems to be some sort of implied conditional.

Could you two be a bit more specific, please? I still can't understand why 'will have' is correct...
