On one hand, 500 mile segment after 500 mile segment really gets OLD, fast. I pitty the guys who qualify for any status that way. It's tougher doing a 500-mile segment round trip MLB-ATL-MSY versus MLB-ATL-SEA.
I am not torn. As i posted above, it is a dilution by the addition of new Medallions when there are already too many of them.
However I can understand the problems of the MLB flyer on his trips to ATL. It is spelled ASA, a company that disgraces Delta nearly every time it comes in contact with a customer.
