I'm interested to hear what DL does for these customers since Frontier/Republic/Midwest are all together now and people may be looking to leave and WN/FL are tying up so FL flyers who want assigned seating and an F cabin would likely switch to DL if they live in the South or Midwest. Seems like a big opportunity for DL to gain more customers that are ticked off about the mergers.
I sent them my flight history, which would have supported Gold on DL based on my flight activity. I wonder if they just match all FL's to Silver and leave it at that?
