Hey, you leave AA ALONE.

We thought leaders still trust AA doncha know!

DL may not be a fan of offering cheaper fares I premium cabins but in my anecdotal experience they have been beating the pants off the competition in price in domestic F all year. And best of all when a DL domestic F ticket connects to a baby bird with no F I still get SKY boarding priority. On UA my priority on a baby bird connection reverts to my 'lowly' Gold Million Miler status: group 2.

So while I fully understand why Gary is slut shaming DL, ther IS another side to the coin: if DL wants to replace upgraders and award ticket pax with premium revenue pax they are going to have to compete for thAt business! ^
