I agree that the DL FF program has lots of shortcomings, but I do not think that mistreatment of higher tier elites is one of them. As a DM, I feel well treated in general. Would I like to be able to confirm a long haul upgrade at the time of purchase for a lower fare? Of course. Would I like to see more low award availability in long haul business class? Of course again. Would I like to have more honesty and transparency? Yes again. however, as a DM, I have generally been well treated on upgrades, IROPs, exceptions, elite phone lines, etc. There are a bunch of AA policies regarding their elites that would not be changes I would like.
