Did not have status to begin 2011, earned Silver Medallion in a couple of months. I was on track for PM if I hadn't started traveling so late in the year for my job. I'll have some rollover to use towards GM.
I really enjoy the preferred seating options and free checked bag with SM...may seem lame to the frequent travelers, but it is a vast improvement over no status.

2011 DM
2012 PM with HUGE ROLLOVER! I was just shy of DM.
2013 Likely DM because of rollover
Plan to retire end of 2012 (no more domestic travel) so status will mean little as my domestic upgrade days will be over. I will use all my miles for international BE travel and when they go I might have to pay for a seat! It's been a great ride.

Started as PM (been hovering there for years) but this year finally slipped the surly bonds of earth. Now DM but not as much rollover as I would like. I see a few MRs next year to keep the jewelry for 2013.

Started the year with no status, completed delta FO challenge in June, requalified last week for next year.
2012- I have at least one Asia trip and a couple of other international trips planned, should make GM by this time next year

DM For The Third Time
Asked this question last year and while most stayed the same, there were twice as many who had higher than lower status from the year before. But in 2010 we had things like the tri-city DMQM promo and the charity promo, etc., that are missing this year. In 2011 it seemed we had more targeted promos where it took only a couple flts to achieve FO or GM, maybe PM.
Me... Started the year Diamond, ended the year Diamond, will be Diamond next year.
How about you?

2010 Plat
2011 Diamond this year thanks to the double EQM's and 47k rollover
2012 Diamond again because I did a boat load of transcon's and had a ball seeing places like Chicago, Wash DC, Philly, Baltimore, and Miami for the first time.
2013 Who knows? but with only 2k in rollover, keeping Diamond is going to be REALLY tough.
