I posted once.

S. OF A. If you want to slam anyone for there ignorance, it should be the bumbling idiot that wrote that NY Times piece about skymiles.
I think the NYT piece is well written. I agree that they could have been more balanced by at least stating that the 830k redemption was not typical. But it is a real redemption, and much higher than other airlines charge for their most expensive seats that are widely available. So it's a legitimate article in my opinion, and Delta is last in this area amongst US carriers.
