I am a NW/DL refugee myself, and chose CO as my new carrier of choice. Under Jeff Robertson, DL's award system really sucks.

Thanks for the advice. I checked reward availability on UA and CO websites for sample dates this summer to WAW and indeed UA looked as bad as DL (no availability), while CO has lots of availability. Based on that I am being pushed toward CO, however, no status matching by CO (as reported by LADELTA777 ) is a major letdown.

How about US? Is it comparable to CO and UA?
