That is not going to happen. Gone are the (ridiculous) days of flying half-full planes on too many routes. I am surprised that lasted as long as it did. It is unlikely capacity will grow, and the constantly packed planes, along with the numbers of Medallions out there, will continue to shrink the number of available upgrades. That is a fact of life, and is not confined to DL by the way. Folks it is 2012 not 1992.
