I like it. (AKC6 comment)

And if they did cancel to get the fees, what's to stop someone from waiting until T-5min (vs T-72hr)?

Six minutes' wait time, or IT probs. YMMV. (AKC6 comment)
Really, I don't like the collateral damage of euchring other customers out of their awards or their upgrades.

I realize the whole Delta policy is a "Nuke that gnat!" approach, with a lot of collateral damage. But every day this goes on, aren't Delta and we getting more and more into damage control?
