DMs and PMs who do not purchase BE tickets are no more entitled to BE; that is NOT my argument. Go fly J or F on an international based carrier, notice the empty seats and overall much more exclusive feel, and tell me how much better the flying experience it is.
I haven't flown anything less than J internationally in over a decade. Even with that I just can't get worked up over this on DL. Frankly, because it's DL. They aren't a three class International Airline. The meals are nothing to write home about and frankly there are airlines that serve better wine and adult beverages in their Y class than DL serves in J. DL is concerned about the integrity of the price model more than anything else.
