I don't hold any ill feelings, just won't chase status as it no longer makes sense. That being said it never made sense to me to get on a plane for 10+ hrs to just get back on another home on a mileage run just for status.

I have to wonder how many others are in the same boat and where DL is feeling really good about itself right now, they may have a hangover in a few years.
I have no evidence but I am certain there are many others who share your sentiments. The next 5 years will be interesting.
