4. DL - revenue based; poor award availability

2015:
1. US/AA FF
2. UA - revenue based
3. DL - revenue based; very poor award availability
RDM earning on DL doesn't become revenue based until January 1, 2015, exactly two months before UA makes exactly the same change. It isn't fair or accurate to list DL as revenue based for 2014.
