Delta had Flying Colonel and Flying Orchid (the latter for women) going back to the 1940s (if not earlier).

Pan Am gave me Platinum status in the late 80s/early 90s (before succumbing to deregulation) when I was going back and forth to school in Munich from New York.

It would be great if we could establish a timeline of different status levels at different airlines from this thread.^
