So secret that a single word search on "Premier" would have thrown up all of these threads, and more:-

Isn't it someone called Jerry who is supposed to unearth threads that old in about 3 seconds flat - WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH JERRY???

Sorry about that, I think some of that thread rubbed off on me

Maybe we can award a prize to the FTer who comes up with the best ending for the story - how don1k got his premier card.

In a previous job the CEO of the company had premier status and they literally used to hold the plane for him!

Additionally we had a change of chairmen/CEO and I understand that someone had to go to the BA board to get an additional card for the overlap...

There's been a fair few dubious ones over the years.

I suspect it's something the real ones tend keep to themselves especially when it's employer related.
