Well, I was being nosy the other day and was looking onto the manifest. I saw beside somebody's name that it had US 4 beside it. I'm not sure if I made a mistake when looking at it but could have swore it was that. Could anybody confirm?? Does that just mean a regular DM member??

The above, of course, we all understand.
US 5 - Pet Preferred
This is the status reserved for pets flying in the FC cabin, usually with blue-haired ladies who carry their dogs in small duffel bags.
US 6 - Baggage
Note that pitflyer's baggage gets treated better than he does...
US 7 - Southwest Preferred
"Preferred" is a misnomer here; anyone that US can identify as a RapidRewards member is routinely strapped to the wings of the plane. There is a very good economic reason for this: if there are fewer WN elites out there, then WN's market share will go down, thus improving US's market share.
Which leaves us with...
US 8 - pitflyer
...who normally is tied to a tether and dragged behind the plane.
Always happy to clarify things for the newbies.

LOL. Thanks for taking that and running with it. I'm glad they paved the Charlotte runway. It's real bumpy being dragged on that thing.

Normally, yes. They don't read, though.
