The only bright spot I found on this new calculator of my previous trips is if you fly F from CPT to LAX (which I will not be doing)...then even as a lowly blue you earn 500 more skywards miles than before! Otherwise its a net loss across the board for earning alone, unless Flex Plus just happens to be the same price as old flex...which isn't going to happen. But don't worry we get to use more miles to upgrade... Delta Skymiles 2015 is actually looking good comparatively....
