Congrats, I made silver back in 2010 and my first flight as a FO I got upgraded to F. DC-9 DTW-PBI. Gave me a false sense of what to expect in the future, haha... but I hope you get some of the same luck!

I've been a DL elite ever since, DM most years, Gold in 2019, but dropping to nothing in 2020. The Skymiles program isn't good enough anymore for me to keep elite status. I bet there were people saying the same thing in 2010 too, the good-old-days are relative.
