And of course, as a DL Platinum (in a couple of weeks) living in MSP, I'd like some priority on those NW-metal flights.
Hmmm, I'll have to make a call to the Medallion line to make sure. I'll have Gold status (I'm Silver now) with DL this coming year and thats just the thing, I chose DL as my carrier of choice, NOT NWA. DL should always give their own customers any perks before another carrier and NWA should have the same philosophy of taking care of your own people first. I would be highly annoyed if an NWA elite got an upgrade over a DL elite. The way those NWA passengers have been complaining about this merger you would think they would stay on NWA metal until the last day.
