It will, I fear, get much worse, I will finish out this year at least Gold, but I think that will be it for me, just start looking for the cheapest flights and paying a bit extra for better seats. DTW is going to route most flights through ATL [which is hell on earth] glad I dont have to use MSP -- they will be out as soon as DL finishes it's 200 million obligation to the city, which the company could buy out of if they wanted: I would not be surprised if they did so, sooner than later, too.

Best
