&gt;How many Medallions are there?

I think there is 29,000,000 members of which 28% active or 8,120,000 skymiles members. (I found this somewhere on webflyer) Now if I divide 5000 by 8,120,000 I get a very small number .0006% represented. (*Please correct me if my numbers are off)
Still, every bit helps in the cause.

As we told Delta during our meeting, most people never read their bulletins from DL. As I travel, most of the FC cabin has no clue that the program has changed. That is the importance of our campaign.

Yesterday I gave buttons and cards to the Director of Corporation Travel of an Atlanta based Fortune 500 company. She was b***hing about how hard it has been to upgrade. When I told her about changes, her comment was "I have over 4MM and I didn't know that."

She is sending info on SSM in her Monday Morning Memo to the entire company.

We might be small, but we are growing as people actually start to understand what is happening.

So, as Gavroche says in Les Miz:

"And little people know
When little people fight
We may look easy pickings
But we've got some bite
So never kick a dog
Because he's just a pup
We'll fight like twenty armies
And we won't give up
So you'd better run for cover
When the pup grows up!"

The only problem is, that when Delta wakes up, we all might be gone.
