Still enjoying reading everyone's stabs at me and insults to my obvious lack of intelligence. So much for no personal attacks on FT, right?

Lots of constructive comments out there, glad to have started such a wonderful discussion on the merits of a seat restriction rule on a fare that seems to be popping up more and more across the route spectrum (by the admission of the phone reps) and it's applicability to frequent flyers who have long been accustomed to benefits that in some ways (or many ways) do actually add value and keep flyers with a choice of airline coming back to DL.

Bring on some more, y'all.
