It's great that Delta is acknowledging the "valuable feedback" received from its best customers, while largely doing the opposite of what the feedback suggested.
Also it's pretty clear Delta doesn't care about its customers living outside the USA. What is now the benefit of being a PM for customers living overseas?
With no SWU for Plat -- there is no purpose to flying delta -- we hope American starts their MIA-JNB/CPT flight soon -- so I can status match and switch.
Give us the option of OLD or NEW SWU or lacking that make mileage upgrade waitlist go to the gate.
Delta is abandoning the expat community that have been loyal M-fare buying passengers.
