Good point about UA, but the risk/rating for AA is about the same as DL, but that was not my main point. I honestly believe that a well structured SWU/PMU system (with many PMUs and a few "real SWU" opportunities) for PM/DMs would bring more money to DL than the existing PMU system. It would improve DL's FF image, make DM competitive/appealing and make 100k+ PMs want to fly more.
