Very frustrating, this will embroil family member in lengthy I said/you said correspondence with DL after the flight.

The responses feel like a disempowered Indian subcon IT worker reading, or pasting, the script into the system.

This is just a total waste of everyone's time.

DL CS is just plain useless. And no, it's not about NW's - although theirs was much better. This is much worse than even nonelite CS my family member has received from, for example, WN, US and VS etc.

Response: obviously, all discretionary and high-rev business will be steered elsewhere. Who needs this?

If only Jeff had to try to do these things with his own system and depended on the results to refund into his own pocket.
Jeff is not responsible for customer service lines. He's in charge of the Skymiles loyalty program. Too many people here throw him under the bus for every single thing that goes wrong and honestly it's pretty unfair. Want to blame someone? Blame your former POS CEO that has taken over and is responsible for a lot of these changes that you guys are upset about. He's a real piece of work!

If you have status and you travel international you should always travel with Skype so you can reach the US elite lines for cheap.
