At DL, the Plats receive a Choice Benefit which could be the RMU's or one of the other choices like gifting FO or whatever. But at least they have a choice, not to mention rollover and more opportunities to earn MQM's by cc.
So which one do you think looks like the benefits are better than DL?
On UA and AA you can still use miles to UG international flights from much lower fares. There is a co-pay but even so the total cost is way less than a YBM fare. DL's J product is better than UA's or AA's, but any J is better than Y.
