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...
I know this will start a firestorm but shouldn't the clock have already tolled? Do people really think having a metal bag tag makes them so special that you would want to sit in a metal tube for 14+ hours flying a cheap TPAC then immediately fly back? Yet those same people on here think they are Delta's most valuable customers all while they are barely making MQMS, MQS or MQD. Then they complain the airline is out of control when they reward those of us who actually spend more than the bare minimum every year. It's a business and they are actually showing they care about the customers that are actually valuable, so good on them.
