Delta's new scheme slashes the ability of most flyers to EARN lots of RDM's.

Delta has not said what happens to our ability to SPEND the RDM's except to say that low 25,000 "mile" domestic awards are not going away. Most people don't expect good news with the new 2015 mileage redemption charts are published this fall.

MQM's do not change. The way you earn and keep elite status does not change.

So, effectively we fly miles to get status and we get these new mystery "miles", which are just points for redemptions.
I understand that. So this mean that I will continue to fly more? I don't have worry about 2015 SkyMiles program change. Do you this means MQM will continue, but it will not gonna to change. Do they still have 100% MQM economy class fares?
