The 12hr SDC does absolutely no good if all the flights for the day are booked solid.
I defected to DL last July due to the initiation of the "stupid fee" and have been very happy. I am 100% on upgrades as a Gold, even on DL Shuttle. I love the free SDC on DL and have taken advantage many times. I find the service no worse than CO, and the AVOD on transcons is quite nice.
