+1....AS elites (so far) will be getting next to nothing on VX....for example, without at least a match to VX Silver, we will be paying for our bags when flying VX and sitting in the back of the plane (no preferred seating at all). For now and the foreseeable future, flying VX is not going to be an option I'd consider. On DL, we at least get access to the exit rows at booking and the slim possibility of an upgrade.
