Yes, having good credit and throwing it away by signing anything the credit card hawkers put in front of you to get a free tee shirt should be worth more than bringing thousands of dollars in revenue to Delta by flying 15 r/t flights per year.

It could easily cost over $10k to reach FO. I have spent well over that much this year and doubt that I'll requalify for GM. Why would Delta want to reward a loyal customer with a five-figure annual spend when they could shun them for some idiot who signed up for a credit card?
