Several people have said exactly why it was a poor idea. Perhaps i should recap and elaborate for you: It took up too much floor space. The options were poor and expensive. Not mentioned above, the sometimes okay food selections available became scarce or non-existant. Anyone making misguided comparisons with VS should note that VS does not charge for food. If IO want overpriced crappy food, there are several options in the terminal. What real long term Delta FF's would prefer would be a better free selection as they have paid to use the lounge in one way or another in the first place.
