News you can('t) use
Yesterday on a full MD 88 flight (3 hours delayed) the FA thanked the SM members and went on to add that there were a total of 17 FO,GM,PM,and MM passengers aboard...posssibly she'd been reading this FlyerTalk thread...
No doubt someone can begin a study with this random bit of information...

Well, at this point, I believe, the unoffical FT rules dictate that you must share the date, time, flight number, arrival city and departure city involved. We also need to know what seat you were in, what you had to drink, and what the snack was. Finally, we need the FA's name, so that we can interogate her at a later time. Details people, DETAILS!!!!

Per the SkyTeam website DL has 38M total FF members. Some of these might be duplicate accounts, dormant accounts, etc.
However I would guess the numbers would be more like 5%, 10%, 15% (Plat/Gold/Silver) or some variation of that.

That explains why upgrade list sometimes go 50 deep.

Traveller has an alien implant through which all changes in the Medallion population are signaled in real time. We're trying to get her on the radio with Art Bell.

This question has been asked before, but never solved. In short, DL does not disclose number of medallions.

Also, Traveller has cut 60% of the Platinums since last guessing.
