DL limits awards, very well noted all over these threads, and than wants to charge to get it correct.

Please someone from DL break the redeposit from changes. There just can't be even $5 million of the 80 to 100 million. In the long run at this small number it is a loser. If the problem is technology and their systems are designed to treat a redeposit for a change than change their software, they sure did that to implement the $50 nonsense.

I still think the numbers they are talking about is to RIF people.

I do have a question.. Was there a fee to redeposit or change for all members or just PL? If it was only PL than the numbers are even more apparent to be dishonest.
This sums it up perfectly...since the award calendar doesnt work, NWA.com/jp is gone, it is virtually impossible to design a complicated international itinerary in one go...making 3-4 changes quite common with certain itineraries...It seems like the rule is being thought of in regards to simple domestic itineraries overlooking more complicated itins with partners.
