White Envelopes Arriving Yet?
Anyone received their EP credentials yet? Thinking I might make it this year, but got the standard Plat envelope yesterday. Wondering if EP comes later/in addition, or if getting the usual Plat envelope means no go,

But safe to say if it hasn't arrived by now, we didn't make it, right?

In my opinion it is pretty safe. I had almost 190,000 MQM's and about 140,000 actual flight miles on DL, 3/4 of them at or above "M" class, and I have not gotten one.
So if you are below those mileage levels, even with lots of M, J, and F fares, I believe you are out of luck.
Getting the white envelope is about as likely as getting a "low" (at the assigned low mileage level) Sky Miles ticket to wherever you want to go, when you want to go there.

Is it safe?
You're talking to me?

I don't know what you mean. I can't tell you something's safe or not, unless I know specifically what you're talking about.
Is it safe?
Tell me what the "it" refers to.
Is it safe?
Yes, it's safe, it's very safe, it's so safe you wouldn't believe it.
Is it safe?
No. It's not safe, it's... very dangerous, be careful.

I don't think it's safe to say. I was EP last year, and for those who qualified in 2007/8, the program "guaranteed" re-qual in 2008/9 at 125K MQMs (well below the threshold to initially qualify, I'd guess). In 2008 I flew ~530,000 MQMs, all but 3 or 4 sectors in paid F/J, so I'll go out on a limb and assume I've re qualified in any event (both on the 125K "requal" threshold and my arguably pretty significant activity above that).....and I have not yet received the "envelope".
For 530K MQM's they ought to deliver it in a gold-plated envelope.
