What other nomenclature would you use to distinguish awards, UGs and non-revs from revenue flyers? Secondly, supposedly we are anonymous on FT. So what good is DYKWIA here? I use the term primarily to point out that I have low status on other airlines (GM on AA, Plat on DL), yet receive the same or better treatment as a nobody who pays cash as I do as a 1K on UA.
