Yes. I was flying a fair amount but not above Silver level, but was in charge of setting up sales meetings and events, so I influenced Delta traffic. As most that have been around know, it was supposedly lifetime, and came with access to the lounges. That died many years ago. I was PM for many years so it did not matter. Now that I fly much less and only lifetime Silver, I wish it was still available. Or at least a decent offer to buy a membership.

We can always wish. Like I wish all those miles I put on Eastern were DL, as it would probably have made me lifetime Plat.
