Is this a sign that Delta is backing down?
I noticed in the September Skymiles newsletter that in the bit that describes the "new benefits" for Medallion members in 2001, the newsletter states something like "Platinum Medallion members will receive new Platinum systemwide upgrades..."
There is no mention of any specific number of Platinum upgrades. This is a departure from the previously stated "6 upgrades" which were previously announced.
We'll discuss this some more tomorrow during the chat, but I wanted to draw this to your attention and let others know of the wording.
