I have met two people in the 360 program and neither are road warriors but both were VP-level execs (one in banking and the other with a financial info service). They both traveled in paid J/F enough to be maybe Plat. but maybe/probably not diamond. But each controlled a pretty big travel budget. I'm guessing that if I personally travel on $50K+ in tickets AND control over $2+ million on revenue, Delta is going to take very good care of me.
Hardly. I made it for 2015 based on my travel in 2014 - 5 paid BC trips to Europe and 5 paid BC trips to Asia. Spent about $60K MQD. Flew enough to qualify for DM. I control no travel budget, as I am only a Senior Engineer.
Don't expect to make it in 2016 - only $25 K MQD and 4 paid BC trips to Asia.
Nice while it lasted.....
