How many Double DM couples? Is that rare?

I did discover that elsewhere like two weeks ago. Unfortunately between a new baby this year and changes I had already made to credit card spend...I do not have the MQM's. I have accepted my fate as a GM/PM as we roll forward.^

My wife and I are both DM for the last 2 yrs and will make it again for next year. She has over 1 MM and I have over 2 MM. Mult trips to Asia help and if you do some on MU it makes easier to get your MQD as AX $500,000 is beyond our lifestyle. MU in business is a great way to travel, the service is great and FA are very very helpful. Happy Travels and get your Flu shot. This could be a very bad year for the flu. The life you save could be your own and whoever you can persuade to get it with you. Recommended by CDC for all over 6 mo. Blessings and a Joyful and Happy Thanksgiving to all when you celebrate in a few more weeks.

Me and my wife are both diamonds. Have been for several years with the exception of when we had our little one 2 years ago. I know a lot of other traveling couples but none that are both diamond like us.

One really nice thing AS has introduced I’d like to see DL copy is parental leave for elite status; they will allow you to defer your elite status for a period of time when there’s a new addition to the family, which is think is a really thoughtful benefit (and is a really smart business move to keep people loyal when they return to work)...

I've been DM for several years but my wife was never higher than a gifted gold. With some more biz travel, she really wanted to "go for it." With some creative routings on partner flights, she's going to hit Diamond in December (assuming our itinerary doesn't land us in a third world prison). I'm not sure I can support another "faux Diamond" run next year, though I'm sure she'll be spoiled and want nothing less (can't say I blame her).
All that said, I'm all smiles when she gets an upgrade or other recognition...she deserves it!
