Stats [number of members in each BAEC level]
Are there any stats for how many Gold, GGL and GGL Lifetime members there are. Was waiting to board the other day and a couple of guys ahead of me in the queue were talking and said the numbers were a closely guarded secret. Just wondered if that really was the case? Thanks.

I just can't believe of the millions of passengers, and thousands of very regular corporate customers that only 400 fly 12F returns or 18J a year. Or a mix when chuck in some CE and maybe other OW flights...
I wonder if the Forum peddles this lower number to make those CCR members feel more exclusive.
I'd imagine CCR to be in the 1,000s
Perhaps Prem in the 100s

I would suspect that there will be a larger number of CCR holders who only get it for a year than longer term holders, due to a not insignificant number who need GGL but don't normally get 5000 TPs a year. I cannot imagine I am the only one who 'stretched' one years travel with TP runs in order to get GGL after they stopped the 'twice 3000' entry. Mind you, quite unexpectedly I am going to hit 5000 this year as well ... but significantly short of 6000, which is a bit of a shame really.

Well our BAEC HHA is currently three Gold and four Silver.
No wonder I sometimes can't get a seat in my own lounge.
