I'm slowing coming to grips with the fact that having "Elite" airline status and being a Frequent Flyer are two different things -- though not necessarily mutually exclusive.
Since DLAX have now made it possible to achieve DM without actually flying a mile, I thought it would be interesting to see how many here -- and possibly extrapolate what percentage of total DMs -- have reached ALL FOUR qualification milestones.
125K MQM
140 MQS
$15K MQD
$250K Waiver
Even though all of my trips have two "faux" segments since I fly out of HSV, I'll never hit 140 MQS, as I fly fewer than 40 trips per year, in reality just over 30, and probably won't break 100 total MQS on any given year. It seems 3-of-4 would be pretty common -- in my case 400K MQM, $50K MQD, and well over $250K waiver -- but it also seems like those who hit ALL of them would be a relative rarity.
Screenshots if you have them.
