2. What percent of flights have no more than one 2MM DM on them.

Odds of a UG for a 2MM DM will be approximately 1) x 2).
At the top of the list are 360s who surely must trump DMs. At any rate, in mid-Jan. I'll give you a data point from a 2MM DM holding an LUT ticket on a 30 DM flight. If DL is truly changing from fare class to cabin, and 2MM trumps 1MM (rather than all MMers are equal), and C+ isn't considered its own cabin, then I predict I'll clear. Otherwise, I have doubts.
