SM stands for SkyMiles
FO - well that is open to debate - some say it stands for "Flying Orchid" which was an old Delta customer recognition program (I think - that was before my time)
Welcome to Flyertalk and congrats on reaching FO status.
OK did a little more research and I see I am guilty of perpetrating a long running myth here on FT.
FO is the correct acroynym for Silver Medallion
FO does NOT stand for Flying Orchid.
The most commonly accepted meaning for FO is "Flys Often"
