Four days out, "cheapest" isn't exactly going to be cheap, but I certainly don't feel like I'm wasting their money.

My travel for work has been less and less due to travel restrictions within the DoD ever since the sequester was put into effect, so most of my flying is on my own dime, but I don't get why people on here complain about flyers who fly on "OPM". 1) Why is it any of their business? (Hint: it's not) 2) Why does it matter to DL if the name on the CC matches the name on the ticket so long as Delta gets paid?
The only thing I can attribute it to is jealousy and that the people who whine about those who fly on "OPM" are the "I get status through Mileage Running" Types who are about to get a reality check regarding the real value of their flying. I already know and accept that I'm not an HVC so these new changes aren't coming as a shock to me. Some people just can't handle finding out they're not as important as they think they are though.
