Life-long Senator status [merged lifetime SEN]
As I am not sure, if the rules in Switzerland apply also for german based members, I start this discussion here too (did it originally about the swiss conditions in the swiss forum).
what are the german (and others) current conditions to become live-long Senator member?
here are what I today learned about members based in Switzerland (open questions remain about how, if any, former swiss Travelclub status miles and top-tier status might be counted ...):
live-long Senator status (not sure if exactly the same conditions are also for german based members)
(swiss based members) must be all of the following:
* over 60 years of age (not 65 as I thought so far)
* 1 Million miles&more status miles accrued (they could not answer my question if former swiss status miles would in future be counted too)
* 10 years of uniterrupted Senator status (they could not answer my question if former swiss top-tier-status would be counted)
and the member must apply himself, as their database will not automatically show the fulfilled criterias.
(from an interview today dec-8-2005 at the LH office, Gutenberstrasse, Zurich)

Is this lifetime/life long or live long?
For the live-long Senator status it's probably just: live a healthy
lifestyle, don't enjour any dangerous hobbies, and do not show any diseases ..
plus fly enough to stay SEN.
As for the eternal SEN level - it only surfaced once in LH's Exclusive magazine,
so they can probably grant it at leisure. But it doesn't look as if it was a human
or SEN right.

Will I get life-time SEN status once I am 60 ?
I have been a SEN for 10 years now, clocked up about 1,8 million status miles to date but am only 34.
(remember: at the start of M&M there was no differentiation between bonus miles & status miles)
Shouldn't LH be offering life-time SEN for x-million milers anyway, regadless of age ?
