I can claim just these two:
Cabin Master
Fleet Master (even allowing for the 767 and the 737!)
I'm a bit away from UK Lounge Master thanks to a lack of Gatwick and T3 travel.
I'm a continent or two away from International Lounge Master
I'm also a 2-for-1 away from the executive club master

After 3 eventful pages, I'm going to shove the elephant into the room.
Other than presumably bragging rights what, really, is the purpose of achieving these "status masters"?
A bit like checking each others' CIV scores... curious but pointless.

For me the purpose is that it has no purpose, other than as a bit of weekend light entertainment. Not sure the room really has or needs an elephant...

I'll proudly claim cabin master....erm that is about it! Just need a 380 for fleet (can i swap for a 767?!). I doubt i'll ever use the arrivals or gatters lounges so that is out, wtp throne short of seat master (not gonnae happen!) and have never flown to asia/oz so those are out too as no chance i'll be going that way any time soon....i have something to aim for again, hurrah! I'm peering at my profile wondering if it needs a 'CM'...

BA Seat Master = Yes
BA Cabin Master = Yes
BA Schedule Master = No (missing a franchise)
BA Fleet Master = No (missing 787)
BA Lounge Master = No (missing Club at Terminal 3, Gatwick, and domestic)
International Master = Yes
BA Executive Master = No (no non-flight purchase (didn't know you could), no partner redemption (can never find them when I need them), and no two-for-one (since I am continent based)
I suspect the hardest thing to get here (apart from a 2F1 which is not possible) will be the franchise flight. The rest, unfortunately, will come in time.

You're correct, it has no point at all, I thought it was just a laugh to be honest, weekend brain in neutral stuff!
