The Silver medallion in question would have boarded during that period and therefore would have their bag in the overhead before it was full. Get it?
Also, an MD-90/88 is practically the "worst case" situation because of the shorter bins on one side of the plane.
Right, but if she had a seat anywhere near the front then there likely would have been no space nearby and she would have been forced to swim upstream to retrieve her bag.
I mean overall it doesn't effect me for the most part, but on the surface it sure as heck seems like it's going to effect the "Choice" I made for my PM benefit. I guess it's no different than the garbage PMUs I got in the past though - good bird pan paper. I can't even get DL to mail her FO credentials though either. lol I should have taken the miles I think.
If you've paid attention in the past - I'm generally on the DL "Loyalist" side, but I just don't see much positive about this Sky Priority other than the free drink coupons. Seems like wasted $ on a program that doesn't do a whole lot more than what already existed. I'm glad I'm not a DL shareholder. Combine that with the fact that the communication regarding this is vague at best. It sounds like a work in progress, but me personally - I'm kind of sick and tired of DL "beta testing" on their best customers! We beta tested their "award calendar" back in the day - and it's STILL NOT FIXED! We dealt with the boarding drama for months when they introduced the Breezeway - which just now was starting to work well.
