Does Mr. Trump have Medallion status or is he simply an infrequent F/J flyer?

Would you expect anything less.

A few SDCs after the T-3 window?!?!? Maybe?

There would never be non-revs sitting up front with Medallions in Y. Of course the identity of the pax sitting next to the Duke of Bombay is "for your eyes only!"

How about the mods add "joke thread" to title so we don't open this if we don't want sarcasm?
Click MyFlyerTalk, select "edit ignore options" from the left menu, type "houserulz77" into the box, click okay.

Most likely medallion; doesn't take too many TATLs at 150% earn rate to get there.

You should have known this was a put on when you saw the words "Delta", "Upgrade" and "Transparency" in the thread title.

Alternatively, if you are offended by satire (and it is satire rather than sarcasm), you should have known you could stop reading after the first sentence: "After spending countless hours communicating with the top brass at Delta..."

Only Wall Street analysts have access to countless hours of DL top brass time.

Time for a glass of Saki. (with due acknowledgment to Gargoyle for providing the original reference)

And, BTW, well done OP^^^

OK, I am confused, I cannot match up the seating chart on seatguru. Is this the new 787 configuration?

If I ever meet a GM in F he is usually paid F, SWU, G miles, or on a full Y fare.

Love it! But you better put a "just kidding" on your thread title before the more serious of this bunch takes issue with it!

Nice. If I knew that ANY of my other friends would get this, I would have posted it on FaceBook.

That is a great point. Gamers cross all elite levels..even paid FC can do some gaming.. There should be a tiny lowercase "g" next to anyone up front as a result of gaming.
