That's the big question - my gut is DL will match, but it will be interesting to see how they do so:
- Retroactive bookings (like AA/UA) or not (as DL has done in the past)
- EQMs only or EQSs (like UA is doing now)
- All fares or only K+?
Of course, it all really depends on what DL's internal bookings are looking like. UA and AA have most likely taken a hit. I'd guess DL has as well, but who knows how much. Not to mention the ease with with EQMs are already earned on Delta - they are the most liberal at printing EQMs of any airline.
