You don't know, but don't let that stop you claiming the possibility that the worst might happen. At every turn, it seems DL is making positive, sensible changes. Going to a spend redemption makes sense, and works better for
many of us. At worst, the redemption chart might indicate slightly more expensive redemptions, but not the torpedo many had predicted. Give it a break. If you think DL's management is so out to get you, stop doing business with them, but please give the fear mongering a break.
What the heck is your definition of "many"? Delta isn't in the business of making these changes to give out more miles. I have no doubt this will drastically reduce the miles awarded to flyers. So I wouldn't say this works better for many of us. I would argue it's a select few, and a small percentage of the people in the FFP.
The charts really do mean nothing without knowing availability. And it's typical Delta spin to show only 2 gray boxes, when the 2 new levels are essentially increases because they'll no doubt reallocate space from the buckets below them.
