When DL took over NW, from my experience as a past DL gold medallion, I knew that was going to be horror story for us Worldperks elites. I had already bailed out of DL once, so I left for CO. I was right, it did turn into a horror story at DL.
When the CO and UA merger happened, I was initially cautiously optimistic, but once they rolled it out, I learned that this attitude was misplaced, and it was again a screw job on passengers. I bailed out to AA.
With Parker, there is little doubt that there will be another screw job. The question will be just how bad. I expect that it will be bad enough to just say to heck with status and ff programs. There will not be a worthwhile program left.
