How many Gold members who fly almost exclusively Y, based in CPT? And those are just very obvious pointers. If one goes more carefully through skywardhunters posts, there will be lots of other giveaways. Just like for quite a few others.
So, yes, I agree with you, ElJudioErrante.
If EK is actually interested in doing this is entirely another matter!

As to how many CPT based Golds who fly mostly Y, probably more than a handful. Also I was based in HYD for a long time buying tickets originating from there, and have also bought lots of ex-JNB tickets, so that might throw them off.

Unlikely. The offers EK sends to my email address registered for my skywards account are economy (befitting what is now blue status). They seem oblivious to my frequent travels on EK in first and business under QF and other FFPs.

In your account preferences you can specify your preferred class of service. It's probably as simple as being based on that.

Notes are for ALL passengers, regardless of whether Skywards members and/or with or without status.
If a pax (no skywards / no status) is difficult or has a problem on a flight / has a birthday / loses something etc etc then notes can be added and attached to that passenger to forewarn others about behaviour and/or give chance for service recovery. Your behaviour will follow you.... and crew can determine when such notes expire.
EK is not alone in implementing this system.
The majority of passengers (and Skywards members) seldom have many notes unless they're complete .......s or unless they've suffered a service issue. Things like drink preference etc and aisle / window preference are all recorded in Skywards account page.

It would be great if the notes contained a running total of the amount of flights you have taken. That way when some obnoxious z begins his complaint even before take off with the usual "do you know how many times I have flown with EK?" the FA can calmly reply with "yes, this is only your second time and we know you are flying on a cheap email upgrade...."
