So, yes, I agree with you, ElJudioErrante.
If EK is actually interested in doing this is entirely another matter!
100%. I've accidentally posted screenshots of my account with my name not blanked out until someone else pointed it out and I edited the post, I've sent EK links to FT threads with suggestions for improvements via Twitter DM, I've shared specific flight and seat numbers which would allow EK to just look at a manifest. But I doubt they're proactively doing this, thus I doubt there is any actual link recorded on EK systems. It's something I've wondered about many times.
As to how many CPT based Golds who fly mostly Y, probably more than a handful. Also I was based in HYD for a long time buying tickets originating from there, and have also bought lots of ex-JNB tickets, so that might throw them off.
