DM, GO, EM, SP, RUBY, and KSM???
Flying in J I noticed a paper with all the J's seats charts filled with pax's last names (my children they put in first names.) Also I noticed some seats have letters that designated their status. DM, GO, EM (emerald), SP (Sapphire), etc. Only the DMs are emphasized with a circle. Now, there is one that interests me but I can't figure out what it stands for: KSM. What is KSM?

There's usually one hanging out in the J galley somewhere. They are also fixed onto the meal carts during the meal service(s).

it can become confusing
Last year at LHR I was boarding an AA flight to JFK as they called for One World elites. I handed the gate agent my boarding pass and she questioned me: Are you Saphire? I responded that my friends call me Ruby.

If you act like a geek studying the chart than you will probably be stop. If you are friendly with them, chat with them, and get them to like you more than a pax but a decent person to be with, then no, they didn't stop me at all.

I saw that same chart during takeoff last Dec on HKG to YVR ... I was sitting up top in 88A on a 747, and that seat is right before the Emergency exit, and right where the flight attendant sits during take off ... the list was on a clipboard, and somehow was positioned behind her, and up above the pod so I could read 1/2 of it ... It was there for about 10 minutes, and entertained me for about 60 seconds ...
