Now I am very curious to know if a FTer has this status. I know randy Peterson has this status however he is probably sworn to secrecy. Could ua1flyer have this status but he just can’t talk about it. I feel as though there is just so little about this status that people must be told to never talk about it. Furthermore from what I have heard this status could very well have close to 500 people, or more.

I am no expert on the subject but based on the article you quoted it doesn't appear to be above GS per se but maybe parallel since the program appears to be a way of gifting special status to the top brass at the largest corporate customers (who may not even fly enough to be a lowly silver).

mmm. Maybe. However from what I have seen this status is much harder to get and it does go out to individuals too not just companies. Furthermore they also get comped GS for their spouse( implying its greater than GS) and they get a free UC membership for them and their spouse. The status also gets airport meet and greet that will take them to the lounge and a dedicated phone number( yes they get a private phone number that they call so it is separate from the mileagplus phone number que)

Tip and drink. I was there years ago as a guest. The food was decent but expensive, but have to keep it in perspective. More importantly, it was the only place you could drink at Disneyland. I didn't recognize anyone famous but I'm terrible at that.

I think that's about as likely as United giving CC status to any members of Club 33 at Disneyland.

I’m bumping this again because I’m again wondering if we have a chairman’s circle of flyer talk. I’m sure eventually someone will come forward. The people need to know.

That sounds like something only a chairman’s circle would say

If I told you, I would have to clean your MileagePlus account out.

Many years ago, pre-merger, someone left their briefcase at a table across from the CO gate in AUS. I saw him get up and leave as they announced boarding for an AUS-EWR flight. I took the briefcase to the GA who said they would get it to the person. The case had a Chairman's Circle tag on it. I always thought it was a CO thing, and I have no idea if it was carried over to UA.

This is good info, we need more of this. Definitely carried over to United. Rumor is CC get unlimited complimentary Polaris upgrades carried over from the free business first upgrade days.
