+1....yeah, this really shouldn't be a surprise to anyone here on FT....it would have been more of surprise had everything stayed status quo....the lost of the baggage benefit drove me away from DL and the fact that it was so much easier (and less $$) to just earn MVPG on AS metal since it was only 40K instead of 50K and I could use the companion vouchers to bring my cpm down to a reasonable level....and let's not forget DEQM this year
Even though DL has quite a few flights out of PDX, so does AS and QX so I just stuck with AS/QX metal and did just fine....sticking with all AS metal this year was a good strategy
