Medallion Membership Breakdown?
Does Delta publish stats, or are statistics otherwise available, as to their various Medallion members as percentages of overall number of PAX (or even gross numbers of each Medallion Level)? I seem to remember someone recently saying that FO accounts for just 17% of PAX, so I imagine that percentage declines considerably as status levels increase?
I ask because DL claims to fly just shy of 200-million PAX annually. I don't know if that number is number of butts-in-seats, regardless of individual frequency, or if that number represents actual individuals (which I doubt). In routes I fly, it is not uncommon to see a dozen or more PAX with DM brag tags, plus probably an equal number who refrain from adorning their Tumi's with those gawd-awful tacky badges of honor (exempting, of course, Kryptonium and Unobtanium badge-holders ;-)
So, 17% of 200M is still a huge number. Even if that is really 50-100M pax with FFs, that means there are 10-million or more Medallions flying -- and apparently every last one of them flies my routes. ;-)
