Saying they don't care about my loyalty is saying they don't care about my money, no?
Just look at the 2015 program changes. Status is for those that spend $$$ with DL. Miles will be granted based on dollars spent. Putting the time in with DL (i.e. BIS miles and segments) isn't good enough anymore.
I'm not loyal at all to DL. Comparing 1-stop to 1-stop I'll fly AA if they are cheaper. But since I'm a F/J flyer I'll do way better in 2015 on the handful of flights I take on DL than some schlub putting the time in on LUT fares in coach.
