Most of the rest of us <based on the posts here that I watch pretty closely>, feel that Medallions should be pulled from Y, knowing that it can be done without delaying flights, as NW & CO always did it for years!
Did you happen to miss post #31...quoting a reply from Delta Customer Care (the ultimate "Delta apologist") i.e. "you board, you lose". Not all cities...and for that matter, not all GAs feel that way. They decide to pull from coach. And....that's what leads to the inconsistencies.
