BINGO! I agree. If I can't get C+ at booking without having to pay an additional fee, then I may as well book any airline and pay the fee. Loyalty is a two way street, Delta.

In my situation, I often find that American normally has lower fares and good flight times, so I'll go with what's best for the specific situation, no longer focusing my business on Delta.

This shows Delta is more concerned with revenue fees from the kettles, many of whom fly once or twice a year…..who are surprised and later disappointed they paid more for seat that is just as narrow as the ones in the back of the plane…..but because there are so many people who fly only once or twice a year……. that pool of candidates paying C+ fees could last a long time.
