200 miles short of diamond

I don't think they'll give it to me anyway. Looks like a quick jump to Portland is in order. Ugh.

some people would think missing DM by that little would be a great thing.

Is this really a real thread that someone went to the trouble creating? Or are we all being trolled?

Don't bother. DM's can't even get upgrade anymore due to FCM. So PM and DM are kind of pointless these days. Not worth the trouble.

I get upgraded on these flights. As recently as two days ago. It's true that it says it requires an SWU but they put you on the list anyway. Apparently, a lot of DMs complained. That's what the gate agent told me.

Yeah, that's been going on for a while. PMs and DMs can be upgraded on JFK-SEA. Also, I think many people on the DL forum believe that JFK-SEA will no longer be considered a domestic BE (or soon to be Delta One) route and so it'll go back to being standard domestic upgrades.

Just wanted to let you know so you can make a better decision.
