The thing that irks me is that there is no consistency in what Delta calls Business/First unless it's D1 even though they's spent all this money trying to make it seem like it's all cut and dry through their marketing. Even with D1 they are still boarding (mostly) as Premium, the seats are (mostly) still Business Elite, etc. The only advantage is always having the "D1 Lounge" to myself when flying out of LAX.

I'm happy to report back on my experience with the Sky Club and flying this elusive "Business Class" in a few weeks.
