You know better - the official press releases don't include the eliminations. Those notices come out on Facebook right after someone on here posts the information.

Programs: Now just a lowly DL PM/1MM. This industry needs some competition. It's just not enjoyable anymore.

OP - very funny!

You guys KNOW I'm just waiting for someone to call, and announce themselves as a KM, don't you? It's such a super high up medallion level that not even the computer system recognizes it yet - I assume it'll come in the next push.

ROTFLMAO!

I love this and am now redoubling my efforts to hit KM. I reminds me of the origin of the word "exclusive"...that is, to exclude.

It sounds eerily like what GS is to the folks over at UA. And, believe me, I've tried to pay anyone and everyone off at UA I can think of to get the little white envelope.

As a new and valued contributor to FT, I hope you don't take this as an insult, but there is already a KM Line. The customer service has been outsourced to the North Pole - the folks up there know how to work miracles.

Great job, OP! ^

Looks like it covered everything except double secret probation.

I wish more well known establishments still employed the handwritten paper receipt...

I have on good authority the OP is a Congressional Staffer so they definitely do not have anything better to do. It is actually an insert for the Congressional Record to be read by a yet to be named Member of Congress during C Span free time in support of the airline industry.

I have a second report that is equally reputable that states it is a member of the Administration, again with nothing better to do, preparing a bill for submission reflecting another stimulus package to encourage travel.

Whichever the OP might be, well done. ^

Cheers

Great sense of humour.
What? No unlimited unfettered ability to go to the lav anytime during the flight? And what about LBC's (Lavatory Bump Cards) that enables you to bump off any medallion up to and including Diamond from the First Class Lavatory any time. If Delta expects to be a global airline and the best in industry, it must continue to innovate and stay ahead of the competition.
Delta has, once again, fallen a bit short of it's most exalted frequent flyers, viz., KM

I'd like to take the time to refute your scurrilous accusation, but there is going to be discussion on a motion to vote for a resolution to table an article in a committee. So as you can imagine, I am quite busy!!

Don't forget to check behind the drawers in the hotel room.
