So many people are saying this but DM was not automatic even with rollover except for international members. But US members still had to meet the MQD requirement or meet the $250K MQD waiver. And look at this way: using the formula in the new system, that $250K on a DL Reserve would net 25K MQDs or more than enough MQDs to have qualified for DM. So DMs who were maintaining DM status were still having to spend significantly (either on flights or on a CC) with DL. Sure rollover allowed the lower ranks to swell because rollover adding up and then an MQD waiver at $25K being the same for PM, GM, or FO and plenty of folks floated up to these levels. But DM still took extensive spend to obtain.
