We're moving to a domestic system in which there will be three legacy carriers. Same sorts of threads on UA and AA with people saying it, "lovin it over at DL". That's a wash.
Real question is whether carriers such as B6 make inroads with a premium product.
When I asked "wil they miss me" it was mostly a joke. I don't expect a phone call but I was more curious to know, as some pointed out, that some promos might come my way as a result of my inactivity. I'm thinking about the other thread where you are able to decode what DL knows about you after you log in and in a few months I'll be able to decode it again and see if anything has changed.
As for AA, I can't complain. All of the airlines are pretty much the same. I don't get many upgrades with AA, but so many of my flights on DL were in single class aircraft that it doesn't matter much. I did get an op-up on my DFW-ICN back in June, both directions, so that was great. On the way back from LHR I was on their new 777-300 (77W) and it was nice, nice, nice. The AVOD there was terrific, better than anything I've seen on other carriers. It was just like a middle of the road tablet computer, lots of choices, easy to use. Haven't had any issues so far with AA so we will see how it goes. If I go get some evidence that DL misses me, in any sort of way, I'll post it here.
