You assume too much, darling. DL.com is marketing/IT. To think they talk to Customer Service / CorpComm / Operations is asking too much... Have you spent time in a large company?

Some of us care about our PM or DM status-- sure... but we might also be their most valuable customers learning from each other and from DL on FT.
+1.

It could but do you really think that's the case? I've got friends who are in the 20's...

DL listens while we talk, you know that.

I wonder how fluid the scores are? For example, after 3/1 when my status is gone, would other metrics change too? Makes sense that they would.
NRSA scum? Is that a level?

Someone with good insight!

We worked to resolve the issue promptly upon discovering it.
Thanks Paul! Hope your loyal Social Media Ambassadors were helpful in this.

Welcome to the 21st century.

This is the 21century way to try to do that on a mass scale - but it loses it's personal touch and has a creepy feel.
You sir/ma'am must work in marketing. Big Data is the wave of today not yesterday.
