Thanks for following-up B-HQC!

As others have alluded to, it would be shocking to me if an Emerald (or even Sapphire) was IDB, let alone CX's own program members. CX is quite good about those things.

I'm most shocked they're selling 11D/G now to customers. I still hope that isn't quite true. I've seen them occupied in many recent flights but each time was able to identify them as off-duty crew. Or, in a recent case, an acquaintance from Lufthansa Technik, a.k.a industry people. (These are all short-haul flights FWIW)
