Maybe a "broken heart medallion" -- with a big crack going down the middle!

Why not an actual Medallion medallion to wear around one’s neck?

This could be awarded after being a SkyMiles Medallion member for 40 consecutive years — similar to the “gold watch” of yesteryear in honor of retirement from a company.

Probably because Delta only started giving Medallion status 19 years ago, and at the rate that the program is deteriorating nobody will bother getting it for 21 more years.

That is incorrect if you include the old Royal Medallion status level which predated the current SkyMiles frequent flier loyalty program.

Hey guys, I'm relatively new to FT community, but found this thread and proceeded to lose 5 hours of sleep in one night reading all the stories about the KM haha. I was wondering if anyone is around the ATL airport for the next hour or so? I'd totally know who you are if you passed by!

Not today, but my green tag goes through those parts very frequently. Feel free to say hello to those of us who carry one!

NOW, the lawyers might get interested. Dumb.
Selling ANYTHING Delta related is against the T&C of Skymiles anyway and can get you kicked. Plus, since anyone can make these themselves for $8 each ($16 for 2) why not just print your own?

Welcome Back Mr. Rogus!
You have been missed.
All hail BogusRous!
It's good to be king.

Seriously though you have been missed on this forum.

The Porsche, as in singular? No, no, no, you need the motorcade.

This is probably too little too late, but, I know what to say. Just need to find someone to say it too who has an "extra". Here's my flight schedule:
June 22:
EVV-DTW 6:55 AM-9:27 AM
DTW-MSP 12:05 PM-1:00 PM
MSP-DFW 2:20 PM-4:51 PM
June 28:
DFW-MSP 7:00 AM-9:30 AM
MSP-DTW 10:15 AM-1:05 PM
DTW-EVV 1:45 PM-2:11 PM
EVV-ATL 3:00 PM-5:20 PM
ATL-AMS 7:45 PM- 10:40 AM
AMS-FRA 12:25 PM-1:35 PM
July 26:
FRA-AMS 7:05 AM-8:15 AM
AMS-ATL 9:15 AM-1:01 PM
ATL-EVV 8:55 PM-9:13 PM
Busy flight schedule I know, doing it for the MQM's while I'm off school to keep DM for another year. All of the above times are Departure & Arrival times. If ANYONE is in any of those airports, please let me know. Would love to talk FT (and maybe just maybe, get in the club). I'll be flying some more before this but I most likely won't have time to meet up.

Many thanks to @Beachbum for my KM tag ...
I saw his as we boarded and said the secret word, then did the secret handshake. Now I have my very own DYKWIA KM bag tag!
Beware, little people and clear the path for the elite of the elite
