That is to say VIP1. It continues to be the case that a NON-MM member, who's not EP would be listed as VIP-- a non-status listing.
But now, according to this new information, a life gold or a life plat using SWUs, will be listed at the top as if they were EP. Which is pretty cool considering how hard it is to earn those 4 SWUs under the present system and their limited life-span.
As a footnote; it's extremely possible to read this document as also indicating that life golds and life plats get similar handling on *every* upgrade request-- it's a very reasonable and proper reading thereof. However, that seems a little difficult to imagine-- to me anyway-- so I'm discarding that part of this until the first part can be fully confirmed and tested.
Either way, a serious recognition of Million Milers/lifetime members that is new-- how new I do not at this point know.
Here is the section on Airport list that sure *seems* to indicate such change.
I'd have to say at this point, it seems like it must be a typo/mistake/something else. Can't figure out what (or how!) But, with that said, here's why I posted what I did!
