As an SFO based Delta Flyer, I really, really hope that we, at the very least, maintain the ability to earn miles & MQM's on AS metal. If that goes it would be even harder to stay loyal to DL from here. They are the only option within Sky Miles for nonstop service to PDX, PSP, PVR, and several of the Hawaiian Islands. In other words, they are really important for the West Coast leisure market. That or DL really needs to step up their game from SFO. West Coast based travelers need good and direct access to other west coast cities, and we don't want to fly through Utah to make it happen.
