Sorry for not posting earlier....

Randy basically said that he went to ATL to meet with DL and he did not think that they would back down. He stated that this was because of the popularity of the BE product and that even though the planes are not 100% full, DL feels that by doing this they are saving us all from a lot more pain in the future (my characterisation, not his).

Randy also acknowledged that they are not quite considering all of the disadvantages to certain types of members as they should, i.e. those based outside of the US (like myself), those whose wives/husbands/others live outside of the US and are lower tier than PL (like myself).

Anyway, I would love Randy to expand a lot more on this. I believe that this is probably the hottest topic ever that Randy has ever waited this long on writing on.

Randy, if you are planning on featuring this in next months magazine, please let us in on your insight, we're in trouble here.

Also, Randy made a comment along the lines of... BA will join an alliance with DL.
