And EVERYONE will eventually be one of those people, unless you plan on dying without dipping any lower on the Medallion ladder. You just lost a month on your 2025 Medallion year Diamond status, or whenever. Mine will hopefully come earlier.
So every single person with status (except the dead ones and we know what happens to them) just lost a month.
Isn't that worth at least a small sigh from the crowd?
If I was a DL elite, I'd rather have many years of fewer medallions competing during the bloated Jan/Feb months than one extra month of status when I've cut back or quit flying DL anymore.
