Well, I am a PM and I dropped my SC membership because of the horrible zoo it has become. The current state of the Elite system makes me want to drop DL flying because of what it is. I have already taken ALL of my paid F to AA because it is far-closer to what I consider an F experience than what DL provides because they are giving it away. Modified MQM and a thinning of the herd would probably make me bring my paid F back to DL if they used the opportunity to improve domestic "F".
