Exclamation New Three-Tier System/Award Calendar In Effect

Went on to delta.com the last two nights and dealt with the messed up calendar and goofy codes trying to book Business/First Skysavers to Europe. Lost one the night before, but succeeded last night to secure BE seats (with a 4 leg routing) to Germany and back. They were at the old cost of 90K miles for those skysavers to Europe.

Work up this morning and unfortunately, or fortunately, the calendar is updated. We knew it would be coming, as well as the three-tier system. Fine, but...

The negatives--there are way too many medium mile options on the calendar. There are some high price mile blocks and some low.

Next, there were no flights available for every selection I made. The calendar still does not reflect accurate availability

Net effect--new paint job with the same under the hood performance. It seems to me that "how it runs" should trump "how it looks."
