the clock is ticking on that to my friend. Delta tried it once but it wasn't the right time. Mark my words, they will try reducing MQM's again. Consolidation has made it all possible.

When Delta tried it the first time, there were 6 major airlines. To much competition, it was earmarked for failure. Now, there are 3 and DL can get away with it just as they have the reduced skymiles scheme. Plus, you can bet the ranch UA will follow...
