Incidentally, on my flight today, the FA mentioned to me while I was waiting for the lav that the Executive Partner designation is now also on the pax. manifest next to the passenger's name (where it says MM/PM, etc., there is now also an additional designation "EP"). The FA said that they have been told that these are "VIPs" etc.,

Please note: I am posting this info as an FYI in the spirit of FT, and not to boast about having this...so now we know that this 'fourth tier' actually has a name and is showing up on pax. lists, etc. though I doubt DL will ever officially publish the qualification criteria......
Good to know. I got no such designation when logging into my SkyMiles account -- and I never received such a white envelope either -- so I'm "out". (Maybe, amongst other things, DL didn't like some of my cheap MQM earning. )

The pax manifests for some other SkyTeam airlines use EP for ElitePlus, so a DL Plat shows up as DL/EP. What will Executive Partner show up as on the passenger manifests?

I'm also curious if DL's determination of Executive Partners has a geographical element included as well.
