Howeer, to be fair and balanced, FTers represent a very small percentage of DL's high value customer base albeit a very committed sample willing to spend time on this board reading and responding to comments on a daily basis and losing sleep speculating on these types of conversations. While we are all paranoid at the impending changes, the average flyer out there likely could care less. The average flyer likely sees these changes as all in the daily course of business and doesn't give much thought to the overall implications to the SM program and their ability to cash out miles for award tix. Until FTers can atract more of the thousands of medallions out there who have never heard of this board, mobilize them to action, and convince DL that they can not continue to screw over customers, they're not going to care about the few of us on this board think! Unfortunate, but true!
