Not an upgrade list, but an interesting observation. MSP-MKE this AM. I was at least number 8 to board, and the GA thanked every single person ahead of me for being a DM. So we had at least 9 DM's out of the 16 FC seats.

This Monday's 7:40 AM MD-88 from ATL-RDU went out with 64 on the upgrade list. Two DMs cleared at the gate. As a GM on a T Fare I was #38 .

For whatever reason, MKE seems to be a very DM heavy station. I don't think what you experienced is uncommon at all there.

I'm a Gold member and I'm not even on the list. I'll have to check with the agent at the desk in the morning to see what's going on.
Edit: I bought the upgrade from ATL to ORD. Worth the price. As another member here once told me, WFBF.

LOL. Oh yea! It was $119 and I can expense $50 of that. Net cost to me was $69.
Delta never even sent me Gold-medallion tags for some reason ... ???
Anyway, I do have my FlyerTalk.com Priority Tag on my backpack. Been carrying it for years hoping to run into another FTer out there. But Nobody ever mentions it. I'll be sure to proudly display it tomorrow!
