How many Silver/Premier are there now?
Last week I was on a SFO-IAD flight where the gate agent said at least 50% of the people on the plane were Premier or higher. The 757 was full and there was only one empty seat in first class. But there were a ton of people asking the guy if they had a chance at an upgrade. It seems like Premier wasn't all that special at the end of last month. Before the transition, does anyone have an idea of how many passergers were Premier (is there a way to give a percentage?)
Now that the special date has passed, how many Silver/Premier passengers are there now? Is it back down to where 10% of the plane is Silver/Premier or higher? 20%? (ie if I'm still a Silver/Premier, does that mean anything now?)

%'s mean nothing systemwide when you're talking a hub-hub route.
THere have been numbers posted previously, but there are all outdated.
