Hello FlyerTalk,
This is my first post!
I've been lurking here for a few months now, reading intently about all the ins-and-outs of the "elite flying world."
It just so happens that I'm going to make FO this November. I'm excited about becoming a medallion, but from what I read, it seems like FO is really just a title these days (though I have my fingers crossed for at least some upgrades!).
My question - If I make FO in november, when do I "officially" become FO, and how long does my status last?
Also, am I really going to notice a difference between being a savvy, regular flyer and being a savvy FO? Is it going to make some things easier? (My home airport is DCA. I fly to ATL, DTW, and Italy often).
I've looked on delta.dumb for the answer, and I can't pin it down.
I'd really appreciate some help.
Best,
VolareBene
